New’ D^VarfSw’eet pea,Gdpid. 
The First Form of a Dwarf Sweet Pea. 
This is u Novelty of unusual importance, and though it 
was not put upon the market until this year, its renown Is 
already world-wide. It is a Dwarf Sweet Pea, the plant 
growing only five inches high, yet spreading out and form¬ 
ing a solid mat of foliage and flowers one und one-half feet 
across. The blossoms are pure milk-white, very sweet, of 
largest size and great substance, and borne on stems four 
Inches long, three flowers on ouch stem. It begins to 
bloom as early as May, and,unlike the climbingSweet Peas, 
continues in profusion until killed by frost. This is a re¬ 
markable feature and makes it at once one of the most 
superb plants for bedding, massing and edging in cultiva¬ 
tion. For pot. culture, also, it is of great value, being novel, 
unique, fragrant, always full of flowers and superlatively 
beautiful. Next to our Giant Imperial Japanese Morning 
Glories, it is the greatest flower seed novelty of many years.

Japanese Doable Morpiqg Glories. 
We have received from our Agent in Japan a small quantity of seed 
of a ftne double form of the true Large-Flowering Morning Glory, which 
we here offer. The flowers are said to be very large and double, and of bril¬ 
liant and beautiful colors, largely spotted, mottled and variegated. Wo 
have not had I be opportunity to seo but two plants of it in flower ourselves, 
but we are satisfied that It Is a wonderfully line novelty and lust as l eooin- 
inondod or we would not offer it. Do not confound it with the worthless 
Mexican Double Morning Glory, which has been offered for "everal years. 
This is entirely different, and will prove to be one of the most attracts e m w 
flowers It is possible to have. Per packet, Joe.
