NEW SWEET PEAS np oTHER NOVELTIES 
GIANT WHITE - 
Well and truly named. Gigantic in size, exquisite in form and pure in color, it wi 
be a winner everywhere. Giant White is not only the best white Sw eet Pea today, 
but it will also be included in the first twelve in any “best collection.” It is Me rons 7) 
seeded, and perfect germination, therefore, may always be depended upon, Perfe 
form, extremely vigorous and floriferous, it is almost impossible to imagine anyth 
more exquisite in Sweet Peas. Per packet of 20 seeds 25c. 
FLORADALE PURPLE. 
Floradale Purple, a great and decided advance in its color class. is an outataude vg 
novelty that has come to stay. The color is a rich, warm shade of rosy purple, a 
cidedly brighter than the old favorite, Royal Purple, and just a trifle lighter. 
standard has a pronounced lustrous sheen overlying or suffusing it, thus giving | 
entire flower a shining brightness quite distinct from other Sweet Peas of sim 
shades. Vigorous and. strong in habit, the flowers are correspondingly large 
usually borne in fours On very long. stout stems. Beautiful in all stages it makes a 
most telling bunch and is, therefore, unsurpassed for exhibition or decorative pur- 
poses. In shape, size, graceful arrangement on the stem, added to its free-blooming 
characteristics and sturdy growth, Floradale Purple has everything to insure a 5. 
popularity. Per packet of 20 seeds 25c. 
SCARLET DUPLEX. j 
The name “Scarlet Duplex”’ describes briefly both color and form, but to fully real- | 
ize the outstanding beauty of the flowers they must be seen. Hitherto the so-called 
“duplex” varieties have invariably been poor growers, lacking vigor of vine, but in 
Searlet Duplex we have a variety of most vigorous growth and corresponding free- 
flowering characteristics. The color is an intensely rich, glowing scarlet-crimson, 
practically self-colored throughout, without any darker shading. Even in the hottest 
sun it does not scald or become black as so many of the secarlets are apt to do. On th: 
four flower sprays usually the three lower are double, and this doubling of the petals © 
adds greatly to the weight and beauty of the spray. The flowers are truly immense 
in size, exquisitely wav ed and frilled. Per packet of 10 seeds 25c. 
SUNSET. 
The introducer claims this to be the strongest Sweet Pea ever put out. It is an 
English introduction and over there they claim that they have no difficulty in getting 
six, seven and even eight flowered sprays. Trials in this country during the past sea- 
son proved it to be a variety in the front rank of distinct Spencer novelties. The color — 
is a beautiful shade of soft though rich rose, or a subdued rose-crimson, the base of

A splendid new Verbena 
long felt want. Wonderful 
varieties have from time to 
been achieved. ‘Royal Bouquet,’ however, marks a new era in the devel- 
opment of this form of Verbena. When at its best the plant is 15 to 18 
inches high and not more than 10 inches across, no lateral branches being 
thrown out, and what gives this novelty its especial value is the fact that 
the flowers will compare in size and variety of color with those of the 
finest strains of auricula-eyed Verbena. The flower heads are borne on 
long stems and group themselves together at the summit of the plant. 
One great possibility of this valuable introduction is its suitability for 
growing in pots, a thing hitherto impracticable with Verbenas. Per 
packet 'B5c. 
NEW DOUBLE HARDY HOLLYHOCK, “EXQUISITE.” 
The flowers of this splendid new Hollyvhock are very large, measuring 
4 to 5% inches across, and possess the charming new feature that every 
petal, both of the outer edge and center, is exquisitely curled and fringed, 
the attention of the beholder being immediately arrested thereby. The 
flower is extremely double, and some have fancied seeing in it a resem- 
blance to the beautiful, double fringed Petunia. Each white margined 
petal is adorned with a large blotch, and the range of color at present in- 
cludes Rose, Light Rose, Carmine Rose, Violet and Dark Purple. The 
flowering period lasts throughout the summer, and there is no doubt that 
by its rich and varied coloring and strikingly beautiful form this splendid 
novelty will succeed in making a place for itself wherever Hollyhocks are 
grown. Per packet 25c.
