GRICE’S SWEET PEAS. 
F' r nearly 10 years we have claimed for our Sweet Pea 
collections that they were not only the Cheapest but the 
best iu the market, and a trial order will prove conclusively 
that while it is necessary to pay a fair price for a good 
article, it is not necessary to pay the fancy prices so often 
asked for seeds of these charming and popular flowers.
