No Flowers give so mucb cut bloom at so little cost and trouble as Sweet Peas. 
H E says I believe I cau safelv say that I give as much or more personal attention to Sweet Peas than anyone in the Kingdom, that I go to 
more trouble and expense to get all the newest varieties, and have done as much, or more, than anyone in the world to popularise these charming 
flowers by sending out only the very best varieties at popular prices. My great aim has been, and always will be, to supply only the very best 
varieties at a moderate price, rather than ask fancy prices such as have been, and indeed still are being charged by some firms. 
“ For fuller descripi ions of the varieties mentioned in this list and all other known varieties, I refermy friends to my little book, ‘ALL ABOUT SWEET 
PEAS,’ revised and corrected to 1905, with an appendix noticing all the most important of the newest ones shown in 1906. Price 0d.’ 
ALL INTERESTED IN SWEET PEAS SHOULD READ THIS LITTLE BOOK BEFORE BUYING THEIR SUPPLY FOR THE SEASON ; ANY WHO HAVE ALREADY 
BOUGHT THE 1906 EDITION MAY HAVE THE APPENDIX ON RECEIPT OF A PENNY STAMP FOR POSTAGE.
