Aurora. The flowers are of fine substance, full expanded form, and are truly gi- 
gantic in size. The immense flower's are 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 <Sts.

very largest, both in size and form. Its coloring is delicately beautiful ; a creamy- 
white, daintilj' splashed and striped with pale pink on both wings and standard. A 
vigorous grower, usually bearing four blossoms to stem. Price 5 dts. ; oz., lodts. 
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 dls. ; oz., 10 <Sts. 
Daybreak. In color it has a white ground and on the reverse of the standard is a 
crimson-scarlet cloud, which shows through in the fine veins and network, the outer 
margins being white. The wings should be white, but are sometimes slightly flaked 
with crimson. A thrifty grower and free bloomer. Price 5 (fts. ; oz., 10 dts. 
Catherine Tracy (new). Its form is perfect. The large standard is perfectly 
round, very thick, expanded and nearly flat. The color is a soft but brilliant pink of 
precisely the same shade in wings and standard, retaining its brilliancy to the last, 
burning and fading less than any other pink variety. Its large open flower, soft but 
brilliant color, will always make it a favorite. Price 5 < 5 Is. ; oz., 10 dls. 
Double Sweet Peas. From thirty to fifty per cent, of these will come true, i. e., 
with extra petals. Not any more beautiful than the singles, but as some of our cus- 
tomers may wish to give them a trial, we offer a mixture equal to that offered by other 
seedsmen. Price 5 ( 5 ts. ; oz., 15 < 5 ls.

darker at base of petals. . Price 5 < 5 ls. ; oz., 10 dls.

fine deep maroon throughout; nothing like it. Price S ; oz. , 10 <Sls.

form, perfection. The stems are stiff and long, giving an added value for cutting.

continues a veritable “ cut-and-come-again ” to the end of Autumn. Fragrance, deli- 
cious. The best white. Price 5 As. ; oz., 10 < 5 Is.
