Concord, X. H . — Ellis Bros, Gentlemen: I wish to tell you how much I like your collections of 
Balsams. I have had seeds from Farquhars, Henderson, John Lewis Childs and others, but I never had 
such beautiful Balsams as 1 raised last year from one of your collection packets. They are sinrnly beauti- 
ful, and were admired by all who saw ifiem. Respectfully, Mrs. VV. J. G.

sold by us has been grown by one of the most expert Sweet Pea growers in the world, 
and in a location specially adapted to grow- 
ing the best stock. 
Stella Morse. The blossom opens with 
quite a suggestion of yellow — a most fasci- 
nating shade of deepeream — which becomes 
a little lighter as the flower grows older. 
About the third day it is a delicate primrose 
with a faint rose-pink on the edge, which 
casts a pleasing blush tint to a mass of the 
biooms, without destroying the creamy-yel- 
low effect. Price 5 <5ls. ; oz., lo dts. 
Earliest of ali. Everyone will be eager 
to have this distinct new strain, when we 
state that it is identical with the Extra Early 
Blanche Ferry, except that it is more dwarf 
in growth and comes into full bloom at least 
ten days earlier. 
Price, packet, 5 <Sts. ; oz., 10 dls. 
New Countess. Flowers are of the 
largest size and are of a pure light lavender 
throughout — both on standard and wings. 
Nothing more beautiful than a bouquet of 
these dainty light flowers. 
Price 5 <5ts. ; oz. 10 dts. 
Navy Blue. The most important novelty 
of 1899. A most distinct and striking color 
in sweet peas. The general effect is of a 
rich, deep true blue, though on close examination the shade in the standards is a deep 
lavender-purple, suffused throughout with a faint tint of claret or wine-red, while the 
wings are a rich violet-purple. Price 5 As. ; oz., 20 As. 
Aurora. Immense flowers borne three and four on a stem ; the stems are extra 
long and strong. The color effect is gorgeous ; both standard and wings are flaked 
and striped on a white ground, with bright orange-salmon. Price 5 As. ; oz., 10 As. 
Ramona. Grand flowers of improved hooded form. Its coloring is delicately 
beautiful ; creamy white, daintily splashed and striped with pale pink on both wings 
and standard. Usually bearing four blossoms to stem. Price 5 As. ; oz., to As. 
Gray Friar. This is decidedly gray in color, unlike any other Sweet Pea in culti- 
vation. The flowers are very large, the light gray color making a most distinct and 
pretty effect, both on the vines and as cut flowers. Price 5 As. ; oz., 10 As.
