Illustrated hand book : Rawson's vegetable & flower seeds / & Co. . enry Eckford, under date of September 27, 1894, writesas follows: — It has been pronounced by the horticultural press all throughthis season by far the finest White Sweet Pea, having a fine, shell-shaped standard which is upright and rigid, and, like all the Eck-ford varieties, is free from that objectionable notch so conspicuousin Emily Henderson and Queen of England, in which respectthese two latter are identical. Blanche Burpee received a first-class certificate at Birmingham on August 4, 1894, and a first-classcertificate at the great flower show at Shrewsbury, August 22 and23,1894. I myself, too, am quite satisfied with the market valueof this new White, as it must take its place before all others yetin commerce, and will command a great sale. WEST RANDOLPH, VT., April 20, Sirs : — I think the Boston Beauty sweet peas you sent me lastsummer were the most lovely ones I ever saw. They were really a thingof beauty and joy even to think of. Yours truly, MRS. HIRAM Burpee.
