Morse's New Early Flowering Long Season 
Spencer Sweet Peas 
Wonderful Novelties for 1918. PlantinFall. Flowers Six Weeks Ahead. 
There is no doubt but that this new type of Sweet Peas, put out last year for the first time by 
Morse & Co., fills a distinct want. Not everybody is fortunate enough to live where Sweet Peas will 
flourish, and, strange as it may seem, this new class of Sweet Peas is useful, both where the sea- 
sons are too hot for Sweet Peas ordinarily, and too cold. Morse's Early Flowering Long- Season 
Spencer Sweet Peas will flower well in central and southern California, in Arizona, Texas and the 
South, also in the Plawaiian Islands, the Philippines, and the Orient, and are the best varieties for 
greenhouse forcing everywhere. In climates which are cold and where frosts come early, these 
same Sweet Peas, by taking less time to come into flower, will give a month more bloom than the 
ordinary late varieties. 
These Sweet Peas are entirely new and this year we are introducing a number of varieties of 
additional colors of this same strain. They were all developed by us and are here introduced for the 
first time. 
Seed planted in early September in San Francisco will produce flowers about Christmas time. 
Seed planted in October and November will have line large flowers in February and March. 
We do not mean that these New Early Sweet Peas should take the place of the magnificent 
Late Flowering Spencers, but they are an addition to the garden of 
those who wish flowers early and late. If you have friends in the 
Orient, Hawaiian Islands or elsewhere where these Sweet Peas 
flourish, why not send them six or more packets, which would be 
a most acceptable Christmas gift.

this year and last, 
EARLY MELODY. A deeper shade of pink than Early Song 
Bird; a good pink closely resembling Countess Spencer. The 
flowers are borne on long stems and mostly four large, well- 
waved blossoms to each stem. Pkt. 15c. 
EARLY HEATHER BELL. The color is a rich and pleasing- 
mauve, but after standing in water the color becomes a beauti- 
ful mauve lavender. Pkt. 15c. 
EARLY MORNING STAR: Quite the most striking in color 
of the varieties introduced last year. Morning Star is practically 
the same color as the much-admired Thomas Stevenson; that is, 
a deep orange scarlet or plain color in the standard and orange 
pink in the wings. Pkt. 20c. 
EARLY SNOW FLAKE. As its name indicates, this is pure white 
and is quite the best early flowering White Spencer. Flowers 
come on long stems. This variety is appreciated by all florists. 
Pkt. 20c. 
EARLY SONG BIRD. A,splendid light pink, the color of "Flor- 
ence Morse Spencer." This is one of the very popular colors 
with all Sweet Pea raisers, and this variety has flowers splen- 
didly shaped and placed. Pkt. 15c. 
EARLY SPRING MAID. Like our other Early Flowering Spen- 
cers, this carries a great wealth of blossoms borne in fours on 
long stems. The color is light flesh pink, about like Mrs. Hugh 
Dickson. Pkt. 15e. 
New varieties introduced now: 
EARLY LIBERTY. ' Nothing ye t introduced has approached this 
deep sun-proof crimson or blood red. ft is the color of "King- 
Edward Spencer." Florists have wanted this shade. The vines 
are vigorous and bear quantities of line large flowers. The
