A Sunset Sweet Pea Success 
November 27, 1897. 
Gkkat Silvkr Medal.— a cable message has been received by ihe -Sunset 
Seed and Hant Co., of this city, from Hamburg, Germany, which is as cheer- 
ing as it is brief. It reads: "Collection Sweet Peas awarded great silver 
medal." Such a recognition of excellence and variety, coming as it does from 
the Hamburg Horticultural lixhibition, where the flower, plant, and fruit men 
of the world met in open competition, is a valuable tribute, not only to the 
house itself, but to the State of California.— From California Fruit Grower. 
Beukki.hy, Nov. 16, 1897. 
Dear Sir:— I receive with pleasure your beautiful souvenir engraving of 
your successful Sweet Pea exhibit at the Hamburg Exposition. It was a happy 
thought of yours to malte this demonstration for California, and all will be 
glad that it was so handsomely recognized by the Exposition jury of awards. 
Respectfully, 
E. J. WlCKSON, 
Chair of Agriculture and Horticulture.
