•America's Perleetion Strain' 



THEY ASSURE A PROP 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 Orchid Mixture. While this mixture 

 contains Spencer Winter bloomers, we wish our cus- 

 tomers to know that there will no doubt be the Grandi- 

 flora 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 Spencers 

 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; J4 lb., $5.00. 



Ayres' Christmas Pink Perfection. One of the earli- 

 est and most profitable. Sweet Peas. 1 oz., 15c; 14 lb., 

 50c; lb., $1.50. 



Ayres' Christmas White Perfection. The same clear 

 pure white as the Perfection carnation. Blooms along 

 with its companion Christmas Pink; very prolific. 1 

 oz., 15c; % lb., 50c; lb., $1.50. 



Ayres' Christmas Blue Perfection. In a great many 

 cases we have known this beautiful violet shade to away 

 oversell Sweet Violets. You should not fail to in- 

 clude this in your order. 1 oz., 25c; % lb., 75c; lb., 

 $2.50. 



Ayres' Thanksgiving White, Watchung or Snowbird. 

 The earliest white under cultivation. An extraordinarily 

 prolific variety. Being black seeded it is easier started 

 than any other white. 1 oz., 25c; J4 lb., 75c; lb., $2.00. 



Ayres' Angelino Perfection. Self pink. 1 oz., 35c; 

 J4 lb., $1.00; lb., $3.00.
