SWEET PEAS 
Mon Blanc and Christmas Sweet Peas qr owing under glass. 
NEW SWEET PEAS 
The attention devoted to Sweet Peas has re¬ 
sulted in an extraordinary advance in the size of 
the flowers and in the accession of new and beauti¬ 
ful shades of color entirely unknown in this flower 
a few years ago. We need not dwell on the value 
of Sweet Peas for garden decoration, because they 
are everywhere appreciated. The forcing of Sweet 
Peas under glass has also been found very profitable 
in late years since the introduction of the early 
dwarf growing types, and for this purpose there is 
none better than the two varieties here described. 
.SWEET PEA CHRISTMAS. Not only the 
earliest to flower in the open ground, but is also 
the most desirable for forcing under glass for 
winter cutting, as it is very dwarf in habit, per¬ 
mitting of close planting, and from seed sown 
the latter part of August flowers can be cut dur¬ 
ing the holidays. The standards are of a bright 
rich pink, and the wings nearly pure white; and, 
whereas the flowers are as large as Extra Early 
Blanche Ferry, they come into bloom much 
earlier. This is the florist’s ideal Sweet Pea. 
Price, 35 c. per lb., 10 c. per % lb., 5 c. per oz. 
MONT BLANC. This is a companion to our 
Christmas Sweet Pea, of dwarf growth and ex¬ 
tremely early flowering habit. It begins to 
bloom when only twelve inches high, while the 
plants grown in the open ground seldom attain 
more than two feet in height. The flowers are a 
pure paper white, slightly smaller than those of 
Emily Henderson, but the standard is much 
broader and more rounded in form, slightly 
notched in the center. This is decidedly the 
best white for forcing under glass during the 
Winter months. Price. 5 c. per oz., 10 c. per 
% lb., 35 c. per lb.
