DOUBLE SWEET PEAS. 
The flowers of these do not all come 
double, but usually produce from 20 to 40 
per cent, of double bloHsoms. In some uncon¬ 
genial localities orKltuations they have proved 
very inconstant, producing no double flowers 
at all, but in such eases they make up for the 
deficiency in doubles by producing in greatest 
profusion large single flowers of beautiful col¬ 
ors. Only with this understanding with pur¬ 
chasers do we supply the seeds. Such flowers 
as do comedoublenreof incomparablebeauty. 
Sometimes they will all come double on one 
stem, sometimes all single, but generally dou¬ 
bles and singles are borne about half-and-half 
on each Btem. pkt Ql

Our system of discarding all weakly growing sortR and all inferior Kin all and dull colored varieties, and offering 
on ,v the • cream, is now beginning to be appreciated. Read the following encomiums—we have hundreds of mow 
letters of same purport: 
From M. E. CALHOUN, Wolfville, Nova Scotia: 
“/ thought you would be interested in knowing how 
entirely successful 1 have been with the Sweet Leas 
raised horn your seed. 1 had fifty packages (two $1.00 
collections) planted in two rows, 111 feet long and 4 feet 
apart. 1 followed your directions, and the result has been 
most satisfactory. Every variety came up and 1 have 
had literally millions of blooms, the coloring perfect. 
They are still blooming in great profusion and will until 
frost kills the plants.” 
From A. J. McCAUGHRIN, Newberry, S. C.: 
"I planted your Sweet Peas by your printed direc¬ 
tions and have beaf t he town. They are 6 to 7 feet 
high; have been in bloom two months. No ** firing" as 
yet notwithstanding hot weather and no rain for 30 days. 
Some of them had steins 12 inches long and flowers lVi 
inches in diameter.” 
From CHARLES T. SPEAR, Rockland, Maine: 
“ The Sweet Pea Seeds that 1 had from you are doing 
finely. I have 1.200 feet of row, average height 7 to 9 feet 
There are 37 different varieties, all a solid mass of bloom 
and color; could pick from 10,000 to 20,000 easily. The 
flowers are large and of good colors. We ha ve a great 
many summer people here from all parts of the States, 
and they come to see our Sweet Peas, and all say they 
never saw anything like them before.” 
From Mrs. WILL SPIER, Melbourne, Can.: 
“ We ha ve #rown your Sweet Peas with success for the 
/ears, taking first prize at the Richmond Countv 
Exhibition and the third at the Provincial Exhibition 
held in Montreal, the latter in a class open to florists and 
gardeners." 
From L. IV. RURDECK, Williamstown. Mass.: 
"Last spring I grew your Sweet Pea Seeds and must 
say that in an experience of 40 years J never before had 
such strong growth of vines united with such persistent 
blooming. Several times our Sweet Peas were the subject 
of quitean item in thelocal papers. I can recommend vour 
Sweet Peas for their strong growth and free blooming.” 
From D. E. HOW ATT (Supt. of grounds), Hotel Fronte- 
nac, Clayton, N. Y. : 
“ / send you to-day. Sept. 15, 1899, a basket of Sweet 
Peas from vines that have been in continuous bloom since 
the 15th of June—they beat the nation; the grandest sight 
ever seen in this country , they are fine! We have used 
gieat quantities for decoration and sent about 750 thou¬ 
sand to the hotel. A 11 varieties ha ve bloomed from "start 
to finish. We picked this lot in the first decent rain-st-onn 
we have had since last April. I think over one hundred 
ladies and gentlemen have made memoranda of vour 
firm s address to get seed in future from you. You can 
see what your seed lias done here.”
