GARDEN, FIELD AND FLOWER SEEDS. 61 SMEET PEHS—(Continued.). New Dwarf Sweet Pea—PINK CUPID.—This is not a sport from the original White Cupid, but an actual departure from its parent, the tall Blanche Ferry. In habit it is strictly a Cupid, spreading from the root, from a foot to eighteen inches around, growing from six to eight inches high, and shooting up stems about six inches long, which bear, in full bloom at once, from three to four handsome blossoms, all borne close to the end of tne stem. The standard of the flower is wide, not infrequently measuring an inch and a half. It usually curves over a trifle from the top, partly concave, which gives the standard a distinct shell-shaped appearance. The stand- ard is a bright rose-pink, while the wings are pure white or light pink. Though flowering early, it continues in bloom very late, bearing a profusion of blossoms so thickly as to completely hide the plant. Pkt., ioc, oz. 25c.

This characteristic, as well as the wonderful richness of the unusual markings, has been fixed in both the tall and dwarf forms, and we re- commend both strains heartily to every grower of even the* smallest garden. Tall Chameleon—743a. This variety, with its very large, rich flowers in the greatest variety, is unsurpassed for training over fences and trellises, and blooms with the grea- test freedom
