The First of an Entirely New and Distinct Race. The introducers say of this: "Burpee's Bush Sweet Pea grows in perfect bush form, as shown in the illustration. It requires no trellis like the tall Sweet Peas; neither does it hug the ground, Verbena-like, as does the Cupid race. An average bush grows from 16 to 18 inches high, by from 12 to 14 inches wide.

This also is like the tall sort of this name. Flowers large, borne, generally, three in a cluster. Pkt. 5c, oz. 15c. NEW SWEET of All.
