Lathyrus latifolius, White Pearl 
A beautiful pure white perennial pea, but re¬ 
cently introduced into this country. It flowers 
continually during the summer and fall and 
will be greatly prized by both florists and 
amateur growers on account of its long¬ 
stemmed snowy white blossoms, which are

delicate tints of coloring it is unrivaled by
