SWEET PEA REVIEW. 
Sunset Largest flowered of all Sweet Peas. Single florets from 
Novelty B four-flowered stems measure forty-two millimeters in diameter. Of 
bold, expanded type, with nearly circular standards, wings pro- 
portionally large, finely located and poised on stems- Markings 
delicate and refined. On first opening, a large percentage of the 
buds are a rich creamy straw yellow (not primrose) on back- 
ground in standard, which is suffused with delicate stripes and 
flakes of ciimson-pink (Blanc's Chart), deepest at the mid-suture 
and extending along the upper margin. The sharp, definite pen- 
cilings at the throat, a few lines of which extend well up into the 
body of the standard, add interesting detail. Wings pure white, 
narrowly edged with heliotrope. A flower elegant in the extreme, 
possessing extra vigor, abundant florescence, early flowering 
qualities, and long, stiff, yet graceful, stems, bearing three and 
four perfect flowers,- of large size, even if grown under unfavorable 
conditions. One stem makes a large boutonnaire, two stems 
an ample corsage bouquet. 
Sunset The first striped v&neXy possessing white wings — a peculiarly 
Novelty C attractive departure from the long list of striped varieties which 
show variegations equally abundant in wings as in standards. 
Standards prettily striped with crimson-scarlet on white ground. 
A sport from Red and White Striped, which variety it resembles 
in form, size, and habit, though earlier flowering. An excellent 
florist's flower. It usually bears three flowers, gracefully borne 
on medium long stems. We consider it one of the, freest bloom- 
ing varieties, vigorous, and of good habit. 
Sunset An entirely new departure, being a diminutive 
Novelty D Sweet Pea, not a dwarf, and well-proportioned in 
every detail. Interesting^ in the e.xtreme, can be 
grown and bloomed in a tluiinb-pot (two and a lialf 
inches in diameter), and is an ideal bloomer; bears 
quaint little flowers, whose standards barely cover a 
dime, yet are of perfect form. When in full flower, its 
many blossoms remind one of tiny, sporting butter- 
flies. Standards a liglit suffusion of magenta-lilac,
