M A FLOWERING SWEET SULTANS. 
TTHE old Sweet Sultan has long been a favorite garden annual of the easiest culture. These new 
V*' mammoth-flowering varieties are grand improvements, producing blossoms from 2V6 to 4 
inches across, of graceful, airy effect, and are most deliciously fragrant—they are simply invaluable 
for cutting for vases, and for wearing as corsage flowers they are marvellously effective. A number 
of people stepped into our store the past summer with bunches of either the yellow or white 
varieties that they had purchased from a nearby Italian flower peddler, wanting to got the seed or 
learn the name of “these beautiful flowers.” Height, 2 feet. ( See cut.)
