He had pur- chased the stoclv of 1,008 seeds for which he reported paying the sum of fifteen hundred dollars, which is prob- ably the largest sum ever paid for a new variety of sweet peas.

It is a singular fact that, but for this trade announcement, a similar dwarf form would have been olTered by Ernest Senary of Erfurt, Germany, in 1896 or 1897, probably under the name of Tom Thumb White. It was such a complete description of his variety that the similarity was rec- ognized and Mr. Benary published in his catalogue the name of his novelty as a synonym of Cupid, thus preventing confusion.
