The Florists' Review 



55 



r or Botleifly Sweet Pea 

 (eauy foi You 



Our entire seed department force is giving the florists its undivided attention. Those progressive florists who foresee 

 the certainty of a heavy demand for Sweet Peas during the coming fall festivals and early holiday trade are buying now. May 

 we have your order TODAY, to insure your £ull delivery? 



Winter Countess Spencer is undoubtedly the 

 finest sweet pea in existence; It is extremely 

 early and blooms profusely all winter and spring; 

 during the darkest days it still radiates the gor- 

 geous pink shade, as though still kissed by the 

 sun; in no other variety have we noticed so prom- 

 inently the delightful fragrance that exists in 

 these mammoth blooms. Truly the sweet pea of 

 the day. The seed is worth double what we ask; 

 but to introduce everywhere, our price is, oz., 

 $8.00; 2 oz., $15.00; % lb., $28.00; lb., $110.00. 



Winter Red Spencer; large wavy bronze red. 

 most valuable for winter cutting, oz., $4,50; 2 

 oz., $8.00; J4 lb., $15.00; lb., $50.00. 



Winter White Spencer (black seeded, which 

 makes it especially easy to germinate), mammoth 

 wavy double-like flowers, very prolific and un- 

 doubtedly the finest white in existence, oz., $6.50; 

 2 oz., $12.00; 14 lb., $23.00. 



Winter Lavender XInwin, the best winter lav- 

 ender in cultivation; mammoth flower — truly a 

 gem, oz., $2.50; 14 lb., $8.00; lb., $30.00. 



Winter Duplex Pink Spencer; true Speuceriaii 

 or Orchid type of a shell pink color, oz., $3.50; 

 2 oz., $6.50; 14 lb., $12.00. 



Popularity Spencer No. 11 Is made up of two 

 shades of the most exquisite pink; they bunch 

 perfectly together, and in this the florist receives 

 the two popular shades of the highest Spencer 

 perfection; oz.. $7.00; 2 oz.; $13.00; % lb., 

 $25.00; lb., $90.00. 



Wm. L. Rock Spencer. This winter blooming 

 butterfly has developed into one of the grandest 

 varieties of the day. Mr. Rock himself declares 

 it to he the king of all Spencers. It is a vlery 

 shy seeder, and for this reason we have had 

 to turn down Jnmdreds of customers, our sup- 

 ply having been exhausted shortly after harvest; 

 this year we can spare Ju.st 100 ounces; so be 

 early. Oz., $8.00: 2 oz., $15.00; % lb.. $28.00; 

 lb., $110.00. The above unavoidably contains some 

 of our Winter Blushing Bride Spencer, but as it 

 is equally as valuable as Rock and bunches well 

 with it, we believe this will be agreeable news. 



Ayres' Orchid Spencer Mixture contains the 

 most celebrated of our winter flowering origina- 

 tions; those who do not care to spend very much 

 money and yet desire colors that will bunch beau- 

 tifully, should by all means purchase some of 

 these. Oz., $2.50; % lb., $8.00; lb., $30.00.
