SCHELL’S QUALITY 
SWEET PEAS 
How to Grow Them. Soil the soil for Sweet Peas 
should be rich and deep and worked up fine, loose, free of 
lumps before sowing the seed. Plenty of well-rotted 
manure (never fresh), or, better still, work Wizard Brand 
Pulverized Sheep Manure thoroughly into the soil (we 
have it). This helps greatly to increase the number and 
size of the blooms. Plant so that both sides of the row 
get plenty of sunshine and air. 
We give you here the "cream” of all the best, and very- 
latest introductions, for we know that is what you want. 
Schell’s Large-flowering Spencer 
Mixture Sweet Peas 
This we make up of all the best of the Large-flowering 
Spencer type which are credited as being the best of their 
individual color and class. The flowers are very large. It 
is impossible to make a better mixture of Spencer varie¬ 
ties than this is. It is the best. Mixtures offered at 
higher prices cannot surpass it in quality. Pkt. io cts.; 
oz. 25 cts.; Alb. 75 cts.; lb. $2.25. 
Four Mew Early-flowering 
Sweet Peas 
LAVANDA. New. Offered for the first time. We con¬ 
sider this the finest pure, clear lavender Sweet Pea to 
date. It excels in color, in size and length of stem, with 
4 blossoms on each stem, and highly perfumed. We 
recommend it highly. Pkt. 40c.;oz. $2.50; >4lb. $7.50. 
VALENCIA. Color bright orange, sunproof, and 
having what all other orange Sweet Peas lack—im¬ 
mense vigor in growth, length of stem, and size 
of blooms. Where other orange Sweet Peas throw 
only two and three blooms to a spray, Valencia throws 
three and four. Pkt. 15 cts.; Aoz. 45 cts.; oz. 80 
cts.; Alb. $2. 40. 
MAJESTIC ROSE. An immense, deep rose-pink of the 
popular color of Zvolanek’s Rose, but of a richer, 
deeper tone. The color in Majestic Rose is more 
evenly diffused than in any other Sweet Pea in this 
color class, and does not have the white at the base of 
the standard and wings which others of this color have. 
This improvement in color gives it a brilliance which 
is quite new. Note this—in vigor of growth, length 
of stem, and size of bloom. Majestic Rose EXCELS 
ALL OTHER EARLY Sweet Peas. Pkt. 15 cts.; 
Aoz. 45 cts.; oz. 80 cts.; Alb. $2.40. 
BLUE BONNET. An extra-large, fine deep blue. The 
color is evenly distributed throughout the flower 
without the slightest trace of mauve. By careful com¬ 
parison, the color and vigor of Blue Bonnet are far superior to any other blue on the market. It has very long stems and 
four blossoms to a stem. Pkt. 15 cts.; A oz. 45 cts.; oz. 80 cts.; Alb. $2.40.
