Eckford's Unique 

 New Sweet Pea 



===== HENRY ECKPORD== 



This extremely handsome and distinct flower has 

 caused great excitement amongst lovers of the Sweet 

 Pea. Perfection in shape and size and unique in color 

 it is needless to say that it has received recognition 

 wherevei shown. 



Mr. Eckford writes — and we agree with him. "I will 

 venture the following description as to color: an intense 

 bright shining Orange self, quite unique and absolutely 

 distinct." Its three flowers are borne on long stout stems 

 and beautifully placed, making an ideal buttonhole flower. 



The plant is wonderfully free flowering, robust, 

 vigorous in growth and spreading, and should be allowed 

 at least eighteen inches between each plant. The stock 

 is limited. In Eckford's original sealed packets (lo 

 seeds). Per pkt. 65c. (2s. 6d.) net. 



QUEEN ALEXANDRA 



This is an intense scarlet self of grand texture.— a bold expanded flower of finest form. 

 The plant is robust and must be given plenty of room,— eigbteen inches between each plant is 

 not too much. It is very free flowering and the flowers are of giant size with long strong 

 stems. This grand flower does not burn in the sun, an advantage of no mean value. This 

 and Henry Eckford are absolutely indispensable for exhibition. In Eckford's Original Sealed 

 Packets (10 seeds). Per pkt. 65c. (2s. 6d.) net. 



SYBIL ECKFORD 



This is not a large flower but well expanded, and frequently bears four flowers on its 

 long strong stems. The principal merits are its color, robustness, free-flowering and decora- 

 tive properties. The color gives an exquisite rich apricot and lemon effect, the standards be- 

 ing a delicate blush-pink shade on lemon ground; wings a delicate lemon, quite distinct and 

 charming. In Eckford's Original Sealed Packets (15 seeds). Per pkt. 25c. 



NET. Please note that our usual discount on "seeds in packets" does not apply to 

 these original Eckfords. $1.25 will buy both Henry Eckford and Queen Alexandra, while 

 with Sybil Eckford the set will cost $1.50.

 lor 1006 which with our retail catalogue will be mailed free on application. 



It certainly will pay florists to try one packet each of these three new Eckfords so as to 

 learn of their great value when the seed can be had at a more moderate price next season.
