Please Note. — We carry about 80 different kinds of Sweet Peas, but list 

 here onlv those most suitable for florists. 



Any of the following, per oz., 5c., except where noted. 



Dorothy Eckford. "The grandest pure white. In addition to its pure- 

 ness it is a grand giant flower, also robust in growth and stem, with no ten- 

 dency whatever to tinge or go pink; the plant is very short jointed, and grows 

 an enormous mass of bloom." J lb., 15c. ; OZ., 10c. ; lb., 40c. ; 10 Ibs., $3.50. 



Florence Fraser. An Improved Blanche Ferry. Color, pink and 

 white; flower stems 12 to 14 inches long and very stout, bearing three or four 

 large blooms. A strong, vigorous grower and a free early bloomer. It sur- 

 passes Blanche Ferry in vigor, flower and stem, freedom and earliness. i lb., 

 3«c.; lb., 60c. 



Flora Norton. It is a very bright blue, quite different from Countess of 

 Radnor and kindred varieties, being a brighter blue and clearer color. Oz., 



lOc; i lb., 25c.; lb., $1.00. 



Mrs. Geo. Higginson, Jr. A clear delicate light blue, showing practically 

 no tint of mauve. It is a thing our growers have been working for for years, 

 and while it is not any larger than the old Countess of Radnor, it is particularly 

 fine shade. It is especially valuable for florists, and is a decided novelty. 

 Oz., lOc; i lb., 25c.; lb., $1.00. 



COUNTESS SPENCER HYBRIDS. 

 THE NEW ORCHID -FLOWERING SWEET PEA. 



The type and form of these is a complete departure from anything yet intro- 

 duced. Both the wings and standard are very large, and its graceful form 

 together with the immense size, makes it by far the most attractive variety in 

 existence. There are five or six distinct shades contained in this mixture, 

 but all are of the large flowering type and of the same form. OZ., lOc. ; 

 i lb., 20c.; lb.. 60c. 



King Edward VH. A true giant flowering variety, with strong stems and 

 growth, with no inclination to burn in the sun. A fine variety, much brighter 

 than either Mars or Salopian; J lb., 30c.; lb., 50c.
