We are in the front rank for all the latest and most up-to-date Winter-Flowering and Spencer Sweet Peas, and 

 made a specialty of this grand annual. Our collection has been thoroughly revised, synonyms and out-of-date varieties 

 have been eliminated, wherever practical, and only those of real merit retained. When you stop to consider that there 

 are nearly six hunderd named varieties, you will doubtless miss some old favorite that you have known. No doubt we 

 could procure you this variety; we could certainly send a variety equally as good. 



The Spencer or Orchid-flowering types are exceedingly popular and all the varieties that we offer can be relied 

 upon to come true to color and description. The "Unwins" are all good, and many grandiflora varieties are still holding 

 their own. 



If collections are wanted for exhibition purposes, we shall be glad to make suggestions. 



NOVELTY SWEET PEAS 



Maud Holmes 



Sunproof C'rira§on Spencer (Holmes. 1910). This is

 troduction ; flowers are of the largest size, three and 

 four to a spray, carried on long stems, of brilliant 

 crimson, and blooms are of the true Spencer type, 

 both standard and wings being well waved. This 

 variety will not burn under the hotest suu, is of 

 vigorous and strong growth. The stocl£ is fixed as 

 is shown by The National Sweet Pea Society's trials 

 in England. Pkt. 15 cts., 4 for 

 50 cts. (See illustration.)
