cessful it /s necessary that the seed be of the best quality obtainable. Often what is offered as mixed seed is stoc«* harvested 
from Dlants that have come up as volunteers onground where Sweet Peas have been grown before, or a lot of seed vv Inch has 
been grown saved or handled so carelessly that it cannot be sold as any distinct variety. 1 he use of such seedswill not give 
satisfactory’results. We assure our customers the Mixtures of Sweet Peas which we offer are the results of as gieat c^re in
