136 Grow Sweet Peas in all Their Rainbow Glory 



Giant Spencer Orchid-Flowered Sweet Pea Novelties for 1930 



4004 All Bright. This gives one the impression of a very intense scarlet cerise 

 which describes this variety very well. It is exceedingly brilliant, and the 

 orange suffusion heightens the color to a fiery scarlet which puts this to the top 

 of the list of red Sweet Peas. The stems have great length and sprays usually 

 bear four flowers. There is not the slightest trace of burning, even in California's 

 brightest sunshine Pkt. 25c. 



4035 Blue Flame. The largest dark blue Sweet Pea in existence. It is more 

 truly a true deep blue with the standard bearing a little deeper color than 

 the wings. Blue Flame is most unusual for its length of stem and remarkable 

 vigor. Four flowers to the stem is most common and they are well placed. 



Pkt. 25c. 

 4228 Miss Delight. Magnificent double Sweet Pea having beautifully waved 

 petals. There is a duplexing of both standard and wings, giving the appear- 

 ance of a true double form. The color is best described as a warm light 

 salmon pink on cream ground with a decided amber suffusion, which gives life to 

 the blossom Pkt. 25c. 



4261 Ripples. A charming rose pink variety of gay and pleasing shading. The 

 flushed rose on deep cream ground appears intensified in the center of the 

 standard and edges of the wings. The stems are long and bear the four flower 

 sprays artistically. It is a strong grower and will be a welcome addition to the 

 exhibitor's display as well as for garden decoration Pkt. 25c. 



4283 Serenade. A beautiful warm, bright cerise Sweet Pea on cream ground. 

 There is a delicate salmon suffusion which is laid on evenly throughout the 

 entire flower. The color is a true self with a warm brightness not heretofore seen 

 in the cerise class. It blooms profusely and the plants are most vigorous; bearing 

 four flower sprays in abundance Pkt. 25c. 



4305 Early Alameda. The color is deep rose pink almost approaching the cerise, 



overlaid with glowing salmon cerise pink. The stems are long and the flowers. 



mostly fours are well placed. The petals are quite wavy and crinkled adding 



grace to the large flowers. We have had this tested under glass Pkt. 25c. 



4313 Early Belle. This variety has large, bold, well-formed flowers; the flowers 



being beautifully placed on unusually strong stems which keep their long 



stems until late in the season. The color of this exquisite novelty is clear rose 



pink on deep cream ground Pkt. 25c. 



4341 Early Marine. This is the clearest of all blues either in the late or early 

 class. Both standard and wings carry this truest blue evenly throughout 

 the entire flower. The size is enormous being the largest blue in existence, the 

 standard measuring fully 2 l i inches across. The flower is bold, nicely spaced on 

 a very strong stem. The plants are most vigorous and prolific, giving a great 

 abundance of blooms over a long period : Pkt. 25c. 



4351 Early Oriental. The flowers appear in fours, this being the rule rather 



- than the exception. The color is clear, deepest cream. The flowers are well 



waved and most of the flowers have duplexed standards Pkt. 25c. 



4385 Sunray. The strong and robust plants produce a profusion of long stemmed 

 blooms, the flowers being exceptionally large, well frilled and quite duplexed. 

 The color is brilliant, glowing yet soft cerise on cream ground with just a suspicion 

 of orange suffusion. The color is exceptionally clear with the color running evenly 

 to the edge of petals. Both standard and wings are of the same color tone and 

 even the keel shows some of the same color Pkt. 25c. 



HENDERSON'S 

 GIANT 



Early Flowering 



SPENCER 

 SWEET PEAS 



Bloom 4 Weeks Earlier Than the Late Spencers, Under Congenial Conditions Producing Profusely 

 Immense Waxed Flowers, "Fours" Predominating, on Long Stems 



The plants of this new race are of strong constitution, vigorous growth 

 and bloom continuously for about four months if grown under congenial 

 conditions. Grown in the open ground they begin flowering in about 

 106 days from seed sowing or fully four weeks sooner than late flowering 

 Sweet Peas sown at the same time. It is predicted by Sweet Pea 

 authorities that this race will supplant all other early and late flowering 



Sweet Peas for winter flowering under glass, and also for open ground 

 culture in our Southern States — sown preferably in fall or winter. Con- 

 densed cultural instructions for garden culture under both northern and 

 southern conditions and for winter flowering under glass are given in 

 Henderson's leaflet, "How to Grow Sweet Peas to Perfection," 

 free to customers.
