EARLY OR WINTER-FLOWERING 

 SPENCER SWEET PEAS 



Early or Winter-flowering- Spencers are now grown large- 

 ly for winter bloom and are in great demand by florists. 

 They are equally desirable however, for outdoor planting as 

 they come into bloom two to three weeks ahead of the 

 standard Spencer varieties and, if kept cut, will continue 

 to bloom nearly as long. 



Four Newer Varieties 



3514 APOLLO. (Long-stemmed.) Belongs to the new race of 

 long-stemmed Early Sweet Peas developed for commercial 

 flower growers. In color it is a soft salmon-pinkself, a 

 charming and appealing shade blending perfectly with 

 most pink and lavender tints. Contrasted in a bunch with 

 white or cream the effect is delightful. The flowers are 

 unusually large, nicely waved, splendidly placed, and the 

 stems very long. Truly a great novelty. Pkt. 20 cts., Ms 

 oz. 60 cts., oz. 1.00. 



3530 PAL. (Long-stemmed.) This is the lively, scintillating, 

 pleasing rich rose-crimson Early Sweet Pea which florists 

 and commercial growers have been looking for. Most 

 crimson Sweet Peas, grown under glass, lose brightness of 

 color, but Early Pal has developed a combination of rose 

 and crimson which holds the brightness and depth of color. 

 The stems are long and strong and the flowers are of ex- 

 cellent form, large and bold. The vines are vigorous in 

 growth and very free-flowering. Pkt. 20 cts., % oz. 60 

 cts., oz. $1.00. 



3520 FASCINATION. A child of two famous parents, 

 Early Jeanne Mamitsch X Late Hawlmark Pink. 

 Early Fascination is a combination of color, vigor 

 and stems bred for the exacting specifications of 

 the florist. An Early Flowering Sweet Pea with the 

 salmon rose-pink color of the famous Late Hawl- 

 mark Pink plus the long, strong stems that have 

 made the Early Jeanne Mamitsch so popular as a 

 commercial Sweet Pea. The color is even a richer, 

 deeper salmon rose-pink than Hawlmark Pink. Pkt. 

 20 cts., y 3 oz. 60 cts., oz. $1.00. 



3528 MISS ANNIE LAURIE constitutes the richest 

 tone of pure rose-pink ever produced in a Sweet 

 Pea. It is several shades richer than Majestic Rose 

 or Zvolanek's Rose, and is a marvelous improve- 

 ment over these two varieties. Reports received 

 from the trade who have already grown MISS 

 ANNIE LAURIE on trial, declare it is just the color 

 the florists want. In the trials and in the field cul- 

 tures, it shows up as a most vigorous Sweet Pea. 

 Long stems which are maintained throughout its 

 blooming period, and Fours of course, and it is an 

 abundant, prolific and continuous bloomer. Pkt. 2." 

 cts., y 2 oz. $1.25, oz. $2.00.
