MONEY IN SENSATION SWEET PEAS 



ME. OEOWEE: — 



If you have a house to plant this coming 

 season and haven't quite decided what to put 

 in it, perhaps it would pay you to consider the 

 SENSATION SWEET PEA, Orchid Flowering. 



Number of Carnation plants to fill this house, 

 if it should be 50 x 150 ft., would be at least 

 7,000, their value $350. If tney cut 12 flowers 

 to a plant and average 3 cents per flower, the 

 house would bring you $2,520. 



Now, if ' this same house was planted in 

 OBCHID FLOWERING SENSATION SWEET 

 PEAS it would take $150 worth of seed for eight 

 rows. They ' would give you $25 a day from 

 November 1st to March 1st at the very lowest 

 average, thus making a total for those four 

 months of $3,000 against a cost of $150 for a 

 pound of seed. 



After March 1st, by letting the Peas stay, 

 you would get at least $1,000 more if you did 

 not want the house for a Spring crop. 



With the Carnations, in order to get $2,500 out of the 

 same house, you would have to keep them until June 15th 

 or the entire season. Also, you can safely say that 1914 

 Carnations did not average 3 cents. 



Now, Mr. Grower, which is the most expensive, Sweet 

 Peas at $150 a house or Carnations at $350 a house! 



We are introducing two colors: First is color of Orchid- 

 Flowering Xmas Pink. Second is a good, bright scarlet.

Dear Sirs: In regard to your variety of "Orchld-flowerlng Grandl- 

 flora Sweet Peas" which you have been shipping us since early 

 November, we repeat this stock Is great. Tou will find that It 

 brought nearly double the money of any other such early variety, 

 and our best customers Jumped at It; we never had enough to go 

 around. You will notice that for some time the Peas were bringing 

 more per flower than the Carnations you were shipping. If you care 

 to have us do so, we will send you the opinions of some of our cus- 

 tomers who, as we have mentioned before, greatly appreciate such 

 stock. Very truly yours,

Gentlemen: I have just returned from a trip and find your com- 

 munication regarding your new Sweet Pea, Sensation. I therefore 

 take pleasure in making the following remarks regarding the same. 

 Having watched the growth and development of this beautiful new 

 variety, known as Sensation, I would say that It is well worthy of 

 the name. 



It has the following good points: 



Stem — up to 16 Inches. Size of Bloom — 1V4 to 2 Inches. Earliness 

 of Bloom—Over any other large-flowering variety, having small 

 foliage, which allows freedom of light during dark. Winter days 

 and which accounts for the extreme abundance of bloom during 

 November, December, January and February. Color — Is the very 

 best for commercial or private use.

same shade as King Edward (Spencer), both producing flow- 

 ers up to 16-in. stem. The scarlet is not absolutely true, as 

 it throws about 20 per cent various shades of red, but all 

 are good marketing colors. 



SUPPLY IS LIMITED. Let lis have your order now to 

 avoid disappointment. 



Orders will be filled in rotation. Seed sent out about the 

 1st of July.
