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 the larsest and most perfect Spencer 



type. Tiiere is naturally some variation even in Spencers, and Ethei. 

 Roosevelt claims the most exclusive Spencer perfection. The ground color is 

 a soft, pleasing primrose, or straw color, overlaid with dainty flakes and 

 splashes of blush crimson. 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 1910 crop, and. like all good Spencers, it flowered freely 

 but refused to seed.— Description of the originators,— Messk.s C. C. Morse & Co.

Florence Nightingale ii by far tbe lareest and 

 best Lavender Spencer yet introducedl This 

 statement is warranted by comparative trials at Ford- 

 hook and the field crop at Floradale. 



The flowers are truly magnificent and of immense 

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

 nouncedly waved, yet standing erect and broad,— 

 frequently measuring two inches across. The color 

 is most charmingly soft and yet rich lavender, which 

 is 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 beautifully,— attracting universal ad. 

 miration. The plant is extremely robust in growth, 

 flowering most profusely. The stout stems attain 

 twelve to sixteen inches in length and a large propor- 

 tion boar four well placed flowers, as shown in the il- 

 lustrations from photographs. Fix)rence Nightin- 

 gale comes entirely true from seed,— both as to color and the highest ideal Spencer type. 

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



"Rft^P fill RaiTl" "^^^ "^^ Grandiflora affords an entirely new shade in Sweet Peas- 

 llUaC till UCil 1 1 xhe name itself suggests the color, which is a lovely combination of 

 deep, rich carmine-rose and orange. While the flower is not of Spencer form or size, yet it is 

 slightly waved and for boutonnieres or table decoration It Is "really a gem." Its brilliant beauty 

 must appeal to every lover of esthetic shades. 



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. 



In sealed packets containing twenty seeds each : Per pkt. 15c; $1.00 per doz. pkts.; 

 $7.00 per 100 pkts.; in lots of 500 pkts. or more, $6 25 per 100 pkts.
