EVERYTHING FOR THE GARDEN— Flower Seeds 



GIANT SPENCER 

 ORCH I D-FLOWERED 



Sweet Peas 



NEW INTRODUCTIONS 



4142 Hero is what might be called a brilliant clear cerise. It is really 

 more than that, because in sunshine or artificial light it appears 

 to be suffused richly with salmon. "Hero" is an entirely new shade 

 of color and difficult to describe, but on account of its brilliance and 

 clarity will surely be welcomed by all who like brilliant shades. 

 The flowers are large, nicely waved, and well placed on strong stems. 



Pkt. 25c. 



4249 Pinkey is larger than any other variety, belonging in the Deep Pink 

 section of the National Sweet Pea Society's Classification List. It 

 is a most vigorous grower, a continuous cropper, and with outstand- 

 ing, long, stout stems. The flowers are nicely waved and well placed 

 on the stems. The beautiful rose-pin.k tone of the flower is free 

 from the "blueness" of other deep pinks, and in a bunch it is glorious. 



Pkt. asc. 



4252 Prince of Orange is a large, orange variety. When well grown it 

 is a startling luminous flame-color. It is a deeper, richer, and more 

 brilliant orange than any other variety of this class. The flowers are 

 large, nicely waved, and well placed on good stems Pkt. 25c. 



4814 Early Bright Light- A flaming self scarlet. It is absolutely sun- 

 proof and in fact the brighter the sun. the brighter the color. Under 

 artificial light, it stands out in all its brilliance, commanding atten- 

 tion. It is a good grower and the flowers and stems arc of uniform 

 size Pkt. 25c. 



4317 Early Duplex "Pioneer." The color is rose pink on cream ground. 

 The color is quite uniformly spread over the standard and wings giv- 

 ing a lovely effect which is greatly added to by the unusual frilliness 

 of the flower. The flowers look double and really are double since 

 often there will be three or four standards and sometimes the wings 

 are also double. The vines arc quite vigorous and bear a profusion 

 of flowers on long stems. It is quite common to get four beautifully 

 duplexed flowers on one stem Pkt. 25c. 



4319 Early Giant Rose has been tried under glass by commercial grow- 

 ers, and found to be a most desirable free-flowering variety. The 

 arrangement of the flowers on the stem is especially good for bunch- 

 ing. As an outdoor Sweet Pea, where Early Spencers are used, 

 Early Giant Rose is superb Pkt. 25c. 



4355 Early Pink Charm. A light rose-pink, practically self-colored 

 with wings and standard somewhat lighter toward the outer edges, 

 giving the whole a most charming efTect. A vigorous grower, with a 

 long blooming period, and when other varieties are through blooming 

 Pink Charm is still good Pkt. 25c. 



4387 Early Spriiiiison>i_ This is a magnificent variety in every respect. 

 The color of the flower is a rich bright rose pink flushed salmon. The 

 flower is pretty much of a self color with very little of the light 

 cream ground showing. The color has more real life than any other 

 pink and in sunlight or artificial light is beautiful. The flowers are 

 very nicely waved or frilled and are carried well on naturally long 

 stems Pkt. 25c. 



4390 Early White Harmony. No Early Flowering Sweet Pea novelty 

 has been so generally welcomed as While Harmony. It is a fine 

 grower, the stems are long, the flowers are large and pure paper- 

 white of grand substance Pkt. 25c . 



HENDERSON'S 

 GIANT 



Early Flowering sweet C peas 



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

 Immense Waved 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.
