LATE INTRODUCTIONS AND NOVELTIES. 
SWEET PEAS. 
FOUR OF THE FINEST NEW 
SPENCERS FOR 1914. 
EMPRESS EUGENIE—A beautiful delicate tone of 
light gray, flaked with light lavender. A vase or 
bunch of Empress Eugenie gives a most charm- 
ing effect. The flowers are of large size, Deauti- 
fully waved and crimped. A vigorous grower, 
throwing a large proportion of four-flowered 
sprays. 
Empress Eugenie must not only be classed as 
another mauve or lavender among the many of 
that color, but it is a decided improvement on any 
variety yet introduced. This beautiful novelty 
was awarded a Certificate of Merit by the Ameri- 
can Sweet Pea Society, June 29, 1911, but owing 
-to its shy seeding character we have not been 
able to procure it until this season. Per pkt., 15c. 
KING WHITE—A perfect white Snencer Sweet Pea. 
The standards are of immense size, of bold ex- 
panded form, yet exquisitely waved. The im- 
provement in form, size, vigor, waviness and 
purity over other white Spencers is very marked, 
and calls for unstinted admiration. It is an ex- 
tremely vigorous grower, very floriferous and 
gives a large proportion of four-flowered sprays, 
which, with the great length of stem, will appeal 
strongly to those wishing a good white for dec- 
orative work. Received an Award of Merit from 
the National Sweet Pea Society of Enzland, July, 
1912. The originator of this beautiful Sweet Pea’ 
says: “King White is the most valuab!le novelty 
it has yet been-our good fortune to introduce.” 
Scores of Sweet Pea enthusiasts have examined 
King White the past two seasons growing on the 
originator’s farms, and have been almost un- 
bounded in expressions of surprise and admira- 
tion. A well-Known European grower. says: 
“King White is the largest, best, and clearest 
white, a great advance on White Spencer or Etta 
Dyke.” (See cut on page 91.) Per pkt., 15c. 
ILLUMINATOR—The most charming 
color, or rather combination of colors, 
yet seen in Sweet Peas, and very diffi- 
cult to describe. The ground color is 
a warm salmon-orange suffused with 
a rich bright cerise-pink, a very at- 
tractive color in artificial light. The 
flowers, well placed upon long, stout 
stems, are uniformly of great sub- 
EMPRESS EUGENIE. stance, the standard being bold, ex- 
& panded, and attractively waved. 
Illuminator is so unique that it is al- 
most impossible to find words to de- 
seribe its rare beauty.

Illuminator introduces a new shade of 
color, to Sweet Pea enthusiasts, of 
rare beauty and with its additional 
attributes of great vigor, floriferous- 
ness, and symmetry, it is sure to cap- 
tivate all who give it a place in their 
gardens. Per pkt., ldc. 
\WEDGWOOD—The Best Blue Spencer— 
A true self, being a most beautiful 
Wedgwood-China blue throughout the 
entire flower. It is a color that has 
long been wanted, and for which we 
anticipate an eager demand. The 
flowers are of the finest Spencer form, 
of good size, borne almost uniformly 
in four-flowered sprays, well placed 
upon long, stout stems. 
Wedgwood was awarded Certificate of 
Merit by the Pennsylvania Horticul- 
tural Society at The Sweet Pea Show, i 
Philadelphia, June 26, 1913. WEDG WOOD. 
Wedgwood is appropriately named, as its color throughout is a unique shade of Wedgwood 
ask Blue—a color so popular in Pottery Ware and destined now to become almost equally 
eee famous in this distinct New Sweet Pea. Per pkt. 15c.
