Mixtures of Sweet Peas 
Most people obtain more satisfaction from planting Sweet Peas in mixture than from growing named sorts, but to be suc¬ 
cessful it is necessary that the seed be of the best quality obtainable. Often what is offered as mixed seed is stock harvested 
from plants that have come up as volunteers onground where Sweet Peas have been grown before, or a lot of seed which has 
been grown, saved or handled so carelessly that it cannot be sold as any distinct variety. The use of such seeds will not give 
satisfactory results. JV e assure our customers the Mixtures of Sweet Peas which we oiler are the results of as great care in 
selecting as any stocks we grow and as tine flowers are obtained from them as from any seed that can be bought We invite 
comparison with any and all others, no matter under what name or at how high prices offered and are certain that a trial 
will demonstrate the superiority of our mixtures.
