New Sweet Pea HELEN PIERCE 
Entirely Distinct In Size, Shadings, Form, and Habit From Any 
Other Sweet Pea Ever Grown 
Without question it is the handsomest Sweet Pea yet discovered. 
The flowers resemble mammoth Gloxinas in form. The color is 
very bright blue mottled on pure white. It does not come striped 
nor with any suggestion of stripe but uniformly marbled or 
peppered with the color and the veins show a little deeper. The 
originators say the effect is very fine and it makes a beautiful 
decoration, especially when bunched by itself. Comes true to 
name always ; bears three and frequently four blossoms to the 
stem, all of which face one way, a mark of high merit in modern Sweet Peas. Stems are very long and 
stiff, the flowers of the perfect shell shape of semi-hooded type. Only a limited quantity to offer.
