Ayres' Winter-flowering 

 Sweet Pea Seeds 



•'America's Perfection Strain" 



THEY ASSURE A CROP FROM THANKSGIVING DAY ON 



That we have attained Perfection in the following varieties 



of Sweet Peas is best shown from the fact that so many of the 



florists in America and Europe are our customers. 



WILLIAM L. ROCK PERFECTION SPENCER— 



One of our most highly prized and beautiful origina- 

 tions although it is not yet fully fixed. The ground 

 color is pure white with a very distinct margin of rose- 

 pink. The stems are long and carry from three to four 

 fine flowers. Oz., $2.00. 



Ayres' American Beauty Perfection. A Winner. You 

 know what an American Beauty shade will do for your 

 bank account during the winter months. This is truly 

 a gem, and everyone raves over it. Oz., 50c; % lb., 

 $1.50; lb., $5.00. 



Bloomhurst Spencer Orchid Mixture. While this 

 mixture contains Spencer Winter bloomers, we wish 

 our customers to know that there will no doubt be the 

 Grandiflora and Unwin type among them, due to the 

 fact that many Spencers sport back. However, the 

 colors are all very beautiful, and they are immense in 

 size. We do not feel that it is yet time for the Spen- 

 cers to supersede the beautiful Grandifloras and Unwin 

 Winter-Flowering varieties from the fact that the lat- 

 ter are much superior as shippers, keepers and trueness 

 to color. 1 oz., $1.50; ^ lb., $5.00.
