NEl^ EARI.Y-FI.OWERING SPENCER SWEET PEAS 



As the result of the great attention which the Early Orchid-flowering Sweet Peas are receiving from the leading hybridizers 

 who appreciate fully their value as a commercial cut flower for growing under glass as well as their value to the amateur for out- 

 door culture, all of the leading colors are already represented in this class, of which the five varieties offered below are among the 

 latest and best introductions. These, together with the twelve distinct older varieties offered on page 112, make up what is 

 undoubtedly a splendid and comprehensive collection. 



4257 Early Fair flaid. The best blush-pink early variety. 

 Identical in color to the popular Elfrida Pearson. 



4259 Early Glitters. This sensational early variety produces 

 early and freely; flowers of enormous size, of a glittering, 

 fiery orange that is dazzling by day and equally so under 

 artificial light. A strong vigorous grower. 



4262 Early Irene. This promises to become the leading soft 

 lavender Early Sweet Pea. It is similar in color to the 

 beautiful late- flowering variety Florence Nightingale, which 

 insures its instant popularity. 



4265 



4268 



Early fladonna. This splendid new sort might briefly 

 be described as an early-flowering Constance Hinton, the 

 best of all white Sweet Peas and like that variety, is 

 black-seeded, insuring free germination and strong growth. 

 For purity of color, size of bloom, and freedom of flower- 

 ing, it is unexcelled. 



Early Rose Charm. This new introduction is to the 

 early-tlowering type what Rosabelle is to the late varieties, 

 a very large-flowering and beautifully waved bright rose, 

 and which unlike many rose colored varieties, holds its 

 color through the season. 



Price. Any of the above New Early Orchid varieties, 20 cts. per pkt.; $1.50 per oz. 

 4278 Collection containing a packet each of the above 5 varieties, 75 cts.
