has all the ap- 
pearance of live fire, the colour 
being a scorching fire-red, or scarlet 
and which scintillates and glitters 
in bright sunlight, thus adding a 
glowing fire-like sheen which rad- 
iates over the flower. Unlike most 
of the orange-scarlet varieties, it 
does not scorch or burn even during 
extended periods of intense sun- 
shine. Pkt., 25 cts.

tremely vigorous and produces four 
flowered sprays in profusion. Per

may be de- 
scribed as rich cerise-pink, flushed-

pea for exhibition and also charm- 
ming for table decoration. Per

'ly suffused pink, sug-

fours. Per pkt., 15 cts.; oz., 50 cts.

Vermillion Brilliant. — 
"The most brilliant, Iridescent 
scarlet Spencer yet produced." 
The vines are strong, short jointed 
and very floriferous, bearing on 
stout stems, twelve to fifteen inches 
in length, three and four artistic- 
ally placed flowers. It is a note- 
worthy fact that, unlike all other 
scarlet Spencers, the stems fre- 
quently produce Fours. The

waved and fluted, of large size, beautifully rounded and finishing 
well below the keel. The wings are of the same intense pure 
scarlet, making a uniform self-colour throughout and entirely 
sunproof. Awarded the Silver Cup at the National Sweet Pea 
Society's Show, Philadelphia, June 29 and 30, 1912, for the best

Decorator. This distinct novelty may be described briefly 
as an ennobled "Rose du Barrl" increased in 
size and brought to true Spencer type. Of vigorous growth the 
vines flower profusely, bearing on long stems three and frequently 
four beautiful waved flowers. Whether seen on the plant or used 
for house and table decorations (especially under artificial light), 
its merits are immediately recognized. The colour is rich rose 
overlaid with terra-cotta, intensifying to deep bright orange al 
base of wings. Awarded Certificate of Merit by the National 
Sweet Pea Society of England and the Elberon Horticultural 
Society at Ashbury Park, N. J., in 1912. Per pkt., 15 cts.; oz., 
50 cts. 
flowers are of perfect form.
