CATALOGUE OF VEGETABLE SEEDS. 17. NEW SWEET PEA "RED RIDING-HOOD" OF FANTASTIC FORM FASCINATING COLOR FRAGRANT AS THE ROSE hi this variety we have a fixed type, and an absolutely Dew departure inform. When fully developed, the standard and wings are a pleasing rosy pink, shading to blush white at the calyx; the keel, which is al most com- pletely enveloped, being nearly pure white. Although unusually robust in habit, it is early flowering, and in plentitude and con- tinuity of bloom it excels all other existing sorts. The fragrance surpasses, in a marked degree, that of other varieties of Sweet Peas. The length and rigidity of the stems are remarkable ; they run eighteen inches long and over, and, when cut, the stem and bloom retain their stability for a much longer period than other sorts. Per Packet, - 15 cts. Eclipse Pea. This pea is claimed by the introducer to be the earliest variety yet grown, being a vigorous grower and a large producer. Pods of good size and true American Wonder in shape. Seed green and wrinkled, and of sweet and delicious flavor. Owing to earliness, productiveness, size of seed, quality and height of vine, this is des- tined to be the coming Pea for family use. Per Pkt., 15c; Pint, 40c; Qt., 65c.
