NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES 



Two Desirable New Spencer Sweet Peas 



Picture — The combination of light cream standard showing a tint of primrose, with cream pink wings and soft 

 pink keel showing a tinge of salmon, makes this one of the most delicate colored and most attractive sweet peas 

 in its class. The flowers are nicely waved and frilled, of good size and borne in fours very evenly spaced on stem. 



In our trials this has proven a good strong growing and free blooming sort. It is equally attractive under either 

 artificial or natural light, and will be found a very good sort for either outdoor show or interior decoration. {See 

 further description page 88.) Pkt. 10c; Oz. 35c; % Lb. $1.00. 



Sweet Pea^Miss California 



This new Spencer Sweet Pea was granted an Award of Merit by the British National Sweet Pea Society in 

 1924. The general color-effect is a rich beautiful salmon pink of a distinctly new shade. The flowers are beauti- 

 fully waved and frilled and borne in fours on long, stout stems. The plants are exceptionally vigorous. As a 

 cut flower for interior decoration this variety compels admiration because of its charming color both in daylight 

 or under artificial light. A truly magnificent variety for either exhibition or garden decoration. {See further

Two New Early Flow^ering Spencer Sweet Peas 

 Superior Pink — A great advance over all other early pinks in that it never shows the objectionable blue so 

 frequently noticeable in many other pink varieties. The blooms are of a most attractive form, bold and with well 

 waved standards and wings. This waviness, together with the exquisite coloring, gives the flower great daintiness. 

 The color is a beautiful rose pink very slightly shaded with salmon. Awarded a silver medal at the great Inter- 

 national Flower Show in New York, March 16, 1926, and a Certificate of Merit by the Chicago Floral Club, 

 Chicago, on May 13, 1926. Flowers exhibited at the New York show measured two and one-half inches 

 across. {See further description page 88.) Pkt. 10c; Oz. $2.50. 



Vulcan — The color of this new Early Flowering sort is the most vivid scarlet ever seen in Sweet Peas; never 

 burns in the hottest sunshine and in fact the brighter and hotter the sun, the brighter and more intense is the color. 

 Stems are long and the three or four blooms are always gracefully spaced. None of the existing so-called scarlet 

 varieties equal Vulcan in intensity of color, and whether 

 under artificial or natural light the brilliancy of the 

 coloring stands out very strongly. (See further descrip- 

 tion page 88.) Pkt. 10c; Oz. $1.00; l/4"Lb. $2.50. 



Kudzu Vine or Jack-and-the-Beanstalk 



For rapidity of growth on any garden soil, this is 

 probably without an equal. Makes a growth of from 

 eight to twelve feet the first season from seed. Dies 

 back to roots in winter and makes new growth each 

 season. After becomingestablished will grow from forty 

 to sixty feet each summer. The foliage is dark green and 

 luxuriant, making a very ornamental cover for verandas, 

 pergolas, unsightly old buildings, etc. You will find this 

 valuable where a permanent annual shade or cover 

 is desired.

Larkspur — Annual Double Tall Stock Flowered 



Within the past few years there has been a remark- 

 able improvement in this popular annual flower. The 

 plants are much taller, spikes longer, and flowers are 

 larger and more attractive. They are very desirable for 

 bedding and form especially attractive bouquets. The 

 colors are clear and soft and blend well together. The 

 stocks we offer are selected to secure the most pleasing 

 combinations of color. {For further description see
