I3 oUr charming masterpiece on the other side of this 
page, showing the six latest and loveliest introductions in the 
realm of that queen of flowering climbers — the Sweet Pea. As in- 
troducers to the people of the United States of all the improved varieties 
of Sweet Peas, we have with the closest attention studied the many novelties 
annually offered in this line. The public will therefore pardon our pride 
if we say we know the Sweet Pea intimately and accurately, and we feel justified in 
stating that the six varieties pictured on the cover of this year's catalogue have not been 
approached in size of bloom, perfection of form, and delicacy of tint, by any previous introductions. 
One packet of each of the following six new varieties of Sweet Peas will be mailed free 
to any address on receipt of One Dollar. 
BLUSHING BEAUTY. Soft pink suffused with lilac ; a superb flower : a distinct and lovely 
variety. Per packet, 25 cents. ' 
FIREFLY. A 
self-colored, intense 
glowing crimson, 
good size and sub- 
stance; a very free 
bloomer. Per pack- 
et, 15 cents. 
GAIETY. The 
standards, white, 
striped and flaked 
with bright rosy 
lilac; the wingfs, deli- 
cate blush. Per 
packet, 15 cents. 
WE were awarded the ONLY FIRST PREMIUM 
FOR SWEET PEAS cultivated in the Horti- 
cultural Department of the World's Columbian 
Exposition, in Chicago, 1893, and obtained the 
highest awards for Sweet Pea Seeds and Sweet 
Pea Blossoms at the California Midwinter Inter- 
national Exposition, San Francisco, 1894. 
STANLEY. Deep maroon; large, very handsome; 
distinct and beautiful flower of the finest form and sub- 
stance; a great advance. Per packet, 25 cents. 
LADY PEN- 
ZANCE. Pale but 
very bright rose; 
very striking and 
distinct; a most 
chaste and lovely 
flower. Per packet, 
25 cents. 
VENUS. Salmon 
butf; the standards 
delicately shaded 
rosy pink; a very 
distinct and charm- 
ing flower. Per

New Giant-Flowered White Sweet Pea 
BI»AJJCHE BUR.I*EE. A white-seeded, pure wliite, of exquisite form and immense size, 
having a bold, rigid, upright, shell-shaped standard; of great substance; a wonderfully profUse 
bloomer, and absolutely free from the objectionable notch so conspicuous in "Queen of England" and 
"Emily Henderson." It usually bears three flowers on a stem. Especially adapted for corsage and 
button-hole bouquets, because of flowers being placed close together on top of stem. A very chaste 
variety, and by far the finest white Sweet Pea ever produced. 
Mr. Henry Eckford, the eminent English originator of New Sweet Peas, writes us, under date of 
October 29th, 1894, regarding " Blanche Bubpbb," as follows: "'Blamohb Burpbe' is really the 
finest Sweet Pea I have ever sent out."
