A very short crop, the smallest in years. Please 
note my prices are low and the varieties I offer are 
worth double the price. 
Largest-Flowering Varieties

Sweet Pea specialist in this countr>'. He is acknowledged 
to be the best grower and is an authority on Sweet Peas. 
ScheU*s Quality Mixture. This I make up of all the 
latest varieties which are credited as being the 
best of their individual color and class. It is impos- 
sible to make a better mixture of standard varieties 
than this is. It is the best. Mixtures offered at higher 
prices cannot surpass it in quality. Do not confuse 
these with the Spencer types, which are the grandest of 
all Sweet Peas. Pkt. 5c..oz. 15c., '41b. 40c., lb. Si. 50.

EARLY SWEET PEAS 
The great merit of this class is earliness, coming into bloom 
from two to three weeks earlier than the tall varieties. They 
grow only 18 to 24 inches high and are recommended only 
where very early flowers are wanted, as the flowers are not so 
large nor the stems so long as the taller sorts.
