NEW SWEET PEAS. 
Lathyrus odoratus. 
THE QUEEN OF WHITE SWEET PEAS, 
11 EMILY HENDERSON. 
A gloriously beautiful acquisition of American origin. Absolutely pure 
white, as clear as alabaster aud as lustrous as satin. The flowers, of remark- 
able substance, are borne on long stiff peduncles, are extra large, with broad 
round standards that stand up boldly without l'etlcx or curl. 
The plants are robust, compact , and branching, producing such a pro- 
digal abundance of (lowers, that the plants appear as if covered with snow. 
From one plant, specially cultivated, we luive cut in one season the 
seemingly incredible number of 1,035 sprays of bloom. 
In earliness it outrivals all competitors by nearly two weeks, and 
continues a veritable “cut and come again” to the end of Autumn, 
fragrance is most delicious and distinct. 
For forcing under glass it is particularly adapted.

Bronze King 1 — Amongst the numerous new varieties of Sweet Peas 
introduced of late years there is but the "Orange Prince,” which has a 
slight resemblance in colour to this new variety. While flu; flowers of the 
“Orange Prince” are of bright rosy-orange, the standard of our “ Bronze 
King,” shows a perfectly distinct coppery bronze, the wings are pure white. 
Charming variety, reproducing itself true from seed. Per pkt., Is.

Princess May — First-class Certificate Shrewsbury Floral Fete, 
August 18th and J'.tth, 1893. A most beautiful and distinct new variety, 
of which the colouring is throughout of a delicate shade of pale heliotrope 
or lavender, appearing in the bud state of rather a darker tint than w hen 
tally expanded. A most pleasing colour, and quite in accordance with 
modern and fashionable tastes. Probably not since the introduction of 
Princess Heatrire Sweet Pea has there been raised a variety so distinct ami 
effective in its colouring, and will doubtless la; equally as much sought 
after and grown as that now popular variety. The flowers arc large, and 
the wings and standard well expanded. The gardening Press haves 
unanimously spoken in high terms of this pretty and distinct novelty.
