FORREST’S HONEST SEEDS 
SUNBEAM SWEET PEAS 
There is a very long list of varieties, but as the Sweet Peas have been developed and improved, 
we have discarded a great many of the older varieties. Our Sunbeam list represents all the 
desirable varieties of every color and shade. Sweet peas require an abundance of water, and 
should be picked thoroughly at least once a week.
