. There are now in commerce over 150 varieties of Sweet Peas, many of which are small-flowering, of weakly growth or lacking some other necessary characteristic of a first-class sort. Our list consists of less than 50 varieties, but every one of them belongs in the first class. Our Incomparable Collec- tion is a special selection of the finest and most distinct 21 va- rieties, the same is offered with other specialties on pages 11 to 16. The seed should be sown in new ground as early as it can be worked in the spring to enable the vines to make a good strong growth before hot weather sets in.
