Three Grand New Sweet Peas For 1911 



WELL WORTHY OF PROMINENCE IN EVERY "UP-TO-DATE" LIST 



"Ethel Roosevelt'' 



It is a true waved variety of tbe largest and most perfect Spencer 



type. There is naturally t-ome variation even in Spencers, and Ethki, 

 KoosKVKLT claims tlie most oxclusivd Spencer perfection. Thn ground color is 

 a soft, pleasing primrose, or htraw color, overlaid with dainty Hakes and 

 splashes of blusli I rini-on. The crimson is not at all pronounced and simply 

 gives some warmth and golden tinting to the yellowish groundwork. It 

 bunches splendidly and will easily lead in this type of coloring for a long time. 

 We were unable to plant a large acreage owing to the fact that we had only 

 a little seed to sow for I'.tio crop. »nd, like all good Spencers, it flowered freely 

 but refused to seed.— Description oi the originators,— Mkssiis. C. C. Moksf, it Co.

Fi.oitKXCK Ni<iHTiN(:.\r,K IS by f»r the 

 largest and best Lavender Spencer 

 yet introduced! This statement is war 

 ranted by comparative trials at Kordhook 

 and the magnincent tield crop at Flora- 

 dale. Our high ot'inion of Fi.okknck Ni<iHTiM;.\i.K 

 has bt-en confirmed also by the two leadi<<g export 

 Kn^lish specialists, to whom the orginators, Mk.s.si{s. 

 Ai.K-.x. Dickson it Sons, of Belfast, had sent a few 

 seeds for advance trial —and whose reports are pub- 

 lished by peimission in our Spkci.ai, Novk.i.tv

Theflowers are trulv magnificent andof immense 

 size. The standard is unusually large and bold, pro- 

 nouncedly waved, yet standing erect and broad,— 

 fre(iuently measuring two inches across. The color 

 is most charmingly ^oft and yet rich lavender, which 

 U enlivened by a very faint sheen of rose-pink. The 

 large well-spread wings are of the same coloring, 

 frilled and well waved. It is practically a self 

 color and bunches l)eautifully,— attracting univer- 

 sal admirat'on. The plant is extremely robust in growth, flow- 

 i-ring most profusely. The stout stems attain twelve to sixteen 

 inches in length and a large proportion bear four well place<l (lowers, as shown in the illustrations 

 from photographs. Flokenck XiGHTiN«i.M.K comes entirdly true from seed,— both as to color and 

 the highest ideal Spencer type. 



In sealed packets of same sizes and at same prices as "Ethel Roosevelt." 



'' Dnco Hll Rarri *' This new GrandiHora affords an entirely new shadn in Sweet Peas. 

 llUdC UU Uul 1 1 The name itself suggests the color, which is a lovely combination of 

 d<?»-p. rich carmine-rose and orange. While tho flower is not of Spencer form or size, yet it is 

 slightly waved and for boutonnicn^s or table decoration it is "really a gem.' Its brilliant beauty 

 must appeal to every lover of esthetic shade*. 



The plants, of strong, vigorous growth, are wonderfully profuse in bloom,— and every flower is 

 alike! The crops growing at our Fordhook Farms have attracted great attention the past two 

 seasons. One of the leading experts of England,— Mu. A. Irkl.\nd, Marks Tey, F^ssex,— who had a 

 few seeds for advance trial this year, writes: "It is unique and distinct, a charming flower of 

 •eep rose color, overlai'l with a lovely sheen of terra cotta. Foliage and haulm very dark green. 

 One of the l>o.st decorative peas ever lntro<luce<l. For artificial light it is unsurpassei' " 



In sealed packets containing twenty see<ls each: Per pkt. 15o; $1.00 per doz. pkts.;
