WINTER-FLOWERING ORCHID SWEET PEA. "MRS. A. A. SKACH." 



Ny Original Winter-flowering Orchid or Spencer Sweet Pea 



revolutionized the cut flower market last winter. It has brought higher prices than 

 the best carnation, from the start to finish. They will be more sought for this year. 



Mr. A. C. ZvolaneV, Lompoc. Cal. Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 29, 194. 



D ar.>»ir; We handled ^our WintT-floweri^g Orchid Pess last year in quantity. We sold 

 nearly all of the Peas from We'jsri. A. Harvey & Sons, which firm no doubt you know very well. 

 There was nothing in the cut flower line last wint-r that '■old more rea<tilv than th«» Orchid Peas. 

 We believe that all the growers who ha 1 your Orchil- flowering Pe»H last wint-r hsd a most proQt- 

 a' le or p. As .\ou know, some of the retailers a e rather slow to take up something new. After the 

 first purchase of Orchid Peas, however, they invariably bouKht them in preference. • • •
