SWEET PEAS, Best New Mixed— Owing to a special demand for all the new and finer varieties. I have 
selected all the large flowering and most distinct sorts especially for those that can afford to pay 
for the scarce and rarer vanties that heretofore have been too expensive to include in a mixture 
comprising in all some 25 or 30 named varieties. This I call my Best Mixed, and I can particularly 
recommend it as extra choice and fine. Pkt., 100 seeds, 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; 1-4 lb., 25 cts.; 1 lb., 90 cts.

distinct type and form of Sweet Peas. 1 he flower stems are unusually long and the flowers are so 
set on the stem that there is a graceful fluffiness to a bunch of them in distinct contrast to the 
ordinary kinds of Sweet Peas. Mixed colors only. Pkt., 100 seeds, 10 cts..; oz., 15 cts.

longer than any other Sweet Pea. PkL, 100 seeds, 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts. 
One package each of the entire collection (33 pkts. 
including the New Countess Spencer) for $1.20; any 
• 3 pkts. for 10 cts., and 4 oz. for 25 cts., 2 oz. for 15 cts. 
I wish you might have seen the flowers we had last year from your seeds. We had Asters 
that many thought must be Chrysanthemums; but the finest Jlowers were our Petunia, Grandifiora 
People Jroma.ll around came to see them and inquire where we got the seed; of course we were 
glad to give them your name. We had some flowers red and pink inside, shading to a very light 
green outside, and some such a dark purple it would not be wrong to call them black 
Hoping you will have good success in the future. I remain, Your well wisher, 
Mrs. Gertrude M. Bums, Cedar Falls, Iowa.

Miss Lippvncott: The Sweet Peas and seeds 1 got from you did better than any I ever plant- 
ed; they were lovely. The Clematis did fine and had fourteen blossoms the first year. 
Yours truly, Gertrude Manderfield.
