Five New Varieties 



SPENCER SWEET PEAS 



NEW EARLY or WINTER FLOWERING. We have great 

 pleasure in offering to our patrons a very complete list 

 of Early or Winter-flowering Spencer Sweet Peas. Many 

 of our patrons grew them under glass last fall and pro- 

 duced wonderful results. They are equally desirable, 

 however, for outdoor planting as they come into bloom 

 two to three weeks ahead of the standard Spencer varie- 

 ties and, if kept cut, will continue to bloom nearly as 

 long. 



4809 MISS ANNIE LAURIE constitutes the richest tone of 

 pure Rose-Pink ever produced in a Sweet Pea. It is sev- 

 eral shades richer than Majestic Rose or Zvolanek's Rose, 

 and is a marvelous improvement 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 cultures, it 

 shows up as the most vigorous Sweet Pea we have ever 

 grown. Long Stems which are maintained throughout its 

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

 dant, prolific and continuous bloomer. Pkt. 25 cts., y> oz. 

 50 cts., oz. 90 cts. 



4810 EARLY PAL. (Long-stemmed.) This is the lively, scin- 

 tillating, 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 in Early Pal we have developed a 

 combination of rose and crimson which holds the bright- 

 ness and depth of color. The stems are long and strong 

 and the flowers are of excellent form, large and bold. The 

 vines are vigorous in growth and very free-flowering. Pkt. 

 25 cts., V 2 oz. 60 cts., oz. $1.00. 



4811 EARLY VOGUE. This is an improved Early Lavender. 

 It is a selection out of the popular lavender Early Har- 

 mony. The flowers are large and well placed on long stiff 

 stems, most of which carry four blossoms. In our opinion 

 this is the best lavender ever introduced, and we feel sure 

 that it will become very popular with the florist. It is a 

 very vigorous grower and extremely floriferous. Pkt. 25 

 cts., y 2 oz. 60 cts., oz. $1.00. 



4812 EARLY APOLLO. (Long-stemmed.) In Early Apollo we 

 have a fine companion for the long-stemmed Early Sunray 

 introduced recently. It belongs to our new race of long- 

 stemmed Early Sweet Peas developed for commercial 

 flower growers and florists. In color it is a soft salmon- 

 pink self, a charming and appealing shade blending per- 

 fectly 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. 25 cts., y 2 oz. 60 cts., oz. $1.00. 



4813 FASCINATION. A child of two famous parents, Early 

 Jeanne Mamitsch X Late Hawlmark Pink. Early Fascina- 

 tion is a combination of color, vigor and stems bred for 

 the exacting specifications of the florist. An Early Flower- 

 ing Sweet Pea with the Salmon Rose-Pink color of the 

 famous Late Hawlmark 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. 25 cts., y 2 

 oz. $1.00, oz. $1.50.
