SWEET PEAS. — Lathyrus Odoratus. 
(vSee pages 125, 126 for complete list.) 
We were the first Seedsmen in America 
to popularize these gems of beauty and 
fragrance and we still maintain our posi¬ 
tion with the largest stock of the best 
strains of the kinds that give satisfaction 
to planters. There are now so many 
sorts offered the public that in some 
cases it is quite difficult to make a selec¬ 
tion and be sure of having only the best. 
To overcome this trouble we have materi¬ 
ally shortened our list, and while we 
retain as complete a variety of colors and 
blendings as formerly , our patrons have 
only half as many names to select from. 
With the exception of some of the 1900 
novelties, all are American grown, and 
are superior in all respects to imported 
strains.
