varieties in existence. The list constitutes in reality, an International Roll of Honor among Sweet Peas. 
Each variety listed, so far as we can ascertain, is the proven best in its color class, therefore “Old Favorites” 
missing from the list have been replaced by superior sorts. 
Abbreviations: (GM), Gold Medal; (SM), Silver Medal; (AM), Award of Merit; (AGM), Award of Gar¬
