Red Riding Hood. A quaint new Sweet Pea from California. This is absolutety a 
new departure in form, and might be termed the "Freak Sweet Pea. It is appropriate y 
named Red Riding Hood, for it is as close an imitation of a diminutive hood as could be. The 
standards and wings are a pleasing rosy pink, shading to a blush white. It is early blooming, 
and excels all other sorts as a pro- 
fuse and continuous bloomer. 
The fragrance surpasses in a 
marked degree that of other va- 
rieties of Sweet Peas. The length 
and rigidity of the stems are re- 
markable, some stems having run 
to 18 inches, and when cut the 
stem and bloom retain their sta- 
bility for a much longer period 
than other sorts. (See cut, page 23. ) 
Eckford’s Giant White, 
Blanche Burpee. Blanche Bur- 
pee is a pure white of most ex- 
quisite form and immense size, 
free from the objectionable notch 
in other whites. It usually bears 
3 flowers on long stout stems, and 
is the first white yet produced, 
being a perfectly finished flower. 
New Dwarf Sweet Pea, 
Cupid. This little dwarf wonder 
of the Sweet Pea family is charm- 
ing and unique. The flower stems 
are about 4 inches long, and bear 
near the ends of the stems 2 or 3 
waxen-white blossoms of good sub- 
s ance and as large as Emily Hen- 
derson. The blossoming lasts from 
May until December. 
Last year these seeds were very 
unsatisfactory, and did not germi- 
nate well. This season we hav 
secured a fine, fresh lot, which we 
Blanche Burpee. think will give perfect satisfaction
