ANDORRA NURSERIES, 
Eckford’s Gilt=Edge,or 
Surpassing Sweet Peas. 
First introduced by W. Atlee Burpee & Co. 
last year, this new strain has given real pleasure 
to lovers of the finest Sweet Peas. Their atten¬ 
tion was first called to it by the originator, Mr. 
Henry Eckford, when viewing his new seedling 
Sweet Peas at the exhibition of The Royal Horti¬ 
cultural Society in London, England, July, 1891. 
In addition to his most recent novelties, this Gilt-Edge 
Mixture embraces many new seedlings yet unnamed, some 
of them of very surpassing beauty. Besides the variety 
of new colors that will be found in this strain, the 
flowers are also notable for their large size, and from 
the fact that Mr. Eckford has selected these new 
varieties with a view to getting three flowers on a stem, 
all facing the same way, thus making them much more 
presentable, both on the vines and in bouquets. 
From the stock imported direct from Mr. Eckford we 
now offer a fine lot of home-grown seed. We are sure that this 
“gilt-edge stock ” of ECKFORD’S SURPASSING MIXTURE embraces 
the finest assortment of Novelties in Sweet Peas ever offered. 
£ lb 85 cts.; per lb $3.00, postpaid, together with Rev. W. T. 
Hutchins’ cultural directions, 44 All About Sweet Peas.”
