NINE SUPERB 



NEW ORCHID=FLOWERED 

 SWEET PEAS. 



While most of the sorts offered below were in commerce last year, the stocks of all 

 have been carefully re-selected so that the quality is still higher 

 than last year, and the crop having been fair, we are able to put 

 more seeds in the packets, giving our customers a better chance 

 to thoroughly test thera. We consider the 9 vari- 

 eties offered as one of the finest collections of newer 

 sorts ever brought together. 

 4083 Charm. While not of the largest size the 



delicate and exquisite coloring of this variety 



insures its popularity. The beautifully waved 



flowers of purest white are suffused through- 

 out with delicate blush-pink; a really charming 



variety, lo cts. per packet. 

 4093 Decorator. Striking and distinct in coloring, 



which is a rich rose overlaid with terra cotta 



intensifying to deep orange at the base of the 



wings, a tone which lights up wonderfully 



under artificial light, making it of exceptional 



value for cutting. The flowers, of largest 



size, are of true Spencer waved form. 15 



cts. per packet. 

 4101 Empress Eugenie. A fancy, flaked vari- 

 ety which is much liked by those who want 



something out of the ordinary. The color 



is a delicate tone of gray, prettily flaked with 



lavender; flowers of large size beautifully 



waved; a vigorous grower and very free- 

 flowering. 15 cts. per packet. 

 4136 Illuminator. A rich and charming new color dif- 

 ficult to describe, produced by a ground color of 



salmony-orange, overlaid with bright cerise-pink, 



the eff^ect being a glowing orange-scarlet, which is 



especially brilliant under artificial light; flowers 



uniformly large, perfectly formed and borne on long, 



stout stems. 15 cts. per packet containing about 25 



seeds. 

 41")4 King White. This has been hailed throughout 



the Sweet Pea world as the greatest white ever in- 

 troduced. Immense blooms of purest white fault- 

 lessly frilled or waved, of wonderful snbstance. A 



strong, vigorous grower, very free- flowering and 



producing an unusually large proportion of four 



flowers to the spray. (See illustration on opposite 



page.) 15 cts. per packet. 

 4172 riargaret Atlee. The leading experts are unani- 

 mous in declaring this to be the largest and finest 



Sweet Pea yet produced, "The Spencer Supreme." 



It is a rosy salmon-pink on a creamy-buff ground, 



beautiful alike as an individual flower or in a bunch. 



The standard and wings are of immense size, very 



wavy, and the flowers are inclined to double under 



high cultivation. It bears uniformly four of these 



gigantic blossoms to the stem. One of our growers 



says of it : "This is the best rich pink Sweet Pea."

waved Spencer which, on opening, is a delicate azure-

very attractive. This is a great improvement on the 



variety Margaret Madison sent out in ]'J12. 25 cts. per 



packet containing 40 seeds. 

 4241 Wedgwood. Appropriately named, being a beautiful 



Wedgwood or bright silvery-blue throughout, a color that
