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 uants that have come up as volunteers onground where Sweet Peas have been grown before, or a lot of seed which has 
lieen 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. However, where the seed is grown from the very best stock that can be produced, is mixed in most care¬ 
fully studied proportions and then the seeds of desirable but shy seeding sorts are added, there is nothing superior for use in the 
home garden. 
We assure our customers the Mixtures of Sw-eet Peas w-liich we offer are the results of as great care in selecting as any 
stocks we grow and as fine 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. - 
Pkrki/'** IVfJvpJ This mixture has been most carefully grown from our selected stock seed and it will afford a splendid 
v^iioice mixed variety of blooms of improved forms and in the widest possible range of desirable colors. Many of the 
most pleasing and brilliant colors are included. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 15c; Vi Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.25 
i\yf* J We make up this mixture by combining in carefully considered proportions twenty-one 
oupero mixed separate named varieties, each the very choicest of its class. This was done after first care¬ 
fully considering the desirability of color, form and freedom of blooming in our many trials of nearly two hundred different 
named sorts. Nowhere else can one procure a more magnificent mixture of finely' formed and beautifully colored, large 
flowering Sweet Peas. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 15c; Va Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.50
