"Sweet Pea Review" is the title of 
an attractive pamphlet by tlie Sunset 
Seed and Plant Company of San Fran- 
cisco, Gal. It is a series of critical 
notes made during the Sweet Pea 
season of 1S95-96. They do not speak 
encouragingly of the double Sweet 
Pea, but recommend dropping it. The 
little book should be in the hands of all 
who love these beautiful flowers.— The

Fraiuisci). "fhe desi riplions given 
were evidently the result ot such close 
observatiun lii.it we wiote our friend, 
Mr James Sprtmie, the Manager, to ask 
if we could publish in our forthcoming 
book his descriptions of Blanche 
Burpee, Kmily Henderson, and Cui)id. 
the ihree varieties that ha\e occas- 
ioned so much discussion in the horti- 
cidtural press. Mr. Spioule wired
