Burpee’s Bush SWeet Pea. 
This new Pea grows in. dense bush form, about 12 inches 
high and requires no support. In this respect, much like a 
bush bean. The flowers are white, flaked and striped purple. 
This will, we believe, prove more desirable than Burpee’s 
Cupid Sweet Peas, which, despite all that is said in their 
favor, are not a success in many localities.. .10 
Pereifoial Peas. 
No praise can be too high for this lovely iron-clad vine, 
that blooms constantly from early summer until late autumn 
minding neither heat or cold, rain or drought. Plants of 
vigor and healthfulness, bearing a profusion of long-stalked 
clustered flowers, white, pink and deep rose in color, each 
flower an inch or more across. It is strange that they are so 
rarely seen, for they are easily grown, perfectly hardy, and 
so beautiful that we have never yet seen a person who did 
aot admire their cheerful flowers and clear green foliage, 
lour to six feet in height. Per pkt.

DWarf “Cupid” SWeet Peas. 
This is a dwarf Sweet Pea, the Plant growing only live 
inches high, yet spreading out and forming a solid mat of 
foliage and flowers one and one-half feet across. The blos¬ 
soms are very sweet, of largest size and greatly abundant, 
with three flowers on each stem. It begins to bloom as early 
as May, and, unlike the climbing Sweet Peas, continues in 
profusion until killed by frost. This is a remarkable feature 
and makes it at once one of the most superb plants for bed¬ 
ding, massing and edging in cultivation. Also very desir¬ 
able as pot plants. ~ Per pkt.

(l’ereiiiiiiil.) 
A companionable flower that is attractive in the border, 
pretty in balcony boxes and very fine for vases and cut-flower 
work. Blooms first year from seed, though it, is a hardy 
perennial, the plants living in the ground oyer winter and 
blooming profusely year after year in the same spot. On this 
account it is very valuable. The pretty star-like flowers are 
three inches across and the colors are very clear. It is a 
most beautiful and satisfactory plant which blooms freely all 
the season, one plant often having a hundred or more of ,its 
large fine blossoms at one time.
