Sweet Peas 
The best of the old-fashioned or Crandiflora varieties are now quite overshadowed by 
this wonderful type, which are quite distinct, having large, round, open flowers of ex¬ 
traordinary size, usually measuring 2 inches across, with wavy standards and wide- 
spreading wings, a very large percentage bearing four of these immense blossoms to the 
stem, which is long and strong, making them of exceptional value for cutting. All the 
sorts offered below have been thoroughly tested and are very superior in every respect. 
It requires one ounce of Sweet Peas to sow 10 feet of single row. 
Sometimes Sweet Pea vines are troubled with lice (Aphis). Spraying with Red Ar¬ 
row or “Black Leaf 40,” kills them quickly and does not injure the flowers.
