FLOWER SEED 
DEPARTMENT 
NEW AND SELECT VARIETIES OF SWEET PEAS. 
FOR EXHIBITION AND DECORATION. 
Since the Spencer varieties of Sweet Peas were first introduced we have had on several occasions to report very short crops ol 
seed, but we do not remember any year in which such a small crop of seed has been harvested as the present, many growers 
having saved practically no seed at all. We ourselves are large growers of the newest varieties, and though our crop is much 
smaller than usual, we hope to be able to supply all our orders in the present season. As some varieties, however, may be 
exhausted sooner than others, we shall be greatly obliged if any of our customers who desire special sorts will let us have th«r 
orders as early as possible. The following list, which we recommend with great confidence, represents the finest of the newer sorts, 
in addition to those which have obtained the highest commendation during the past summer, and are now offered for the first time.

10 MASCOTT’S WHITE. This is the P« 
finest white Sweet Pea yet raised. ^ ^ 
The flowers are of the largest size 
and of great substance, giving a 
most solid glistening effect without 
the least trace of other colouring. 
The blooms are beautifully placed 
on long wiry stems, and in the 
raiser’s opinion produces far more 
flowers on each plant than any 
other kind. Award of Merit, R.H.S.

11 MAGIC. One of the most distinct 
Sweet Peas yet offered. The deeply 
waved standards are of a glowing 
rosy amethyst deepening to blue, 
the wings of an intense shade of 
blue overlying lavender. In a strong 
light the whole so changes in 
character that an adequate descrip- 
tion is impossible, the standards 
having the appearance of liquid 
bronze. Unequalled for decoration, 
lasting well in water fid. and 1 0 
12 MRS. TOM JONES. A huge flower

waved and well placed on long

predominate, with an occasional 
five. The colour is bright del- 
phinium blue, deepening to ame- 
thyst blue as the flower develops. 
A most attractive and fascinating 
colour. Award of Merit, R.H.S.

13 PICTURE. In the opinion of practically all the experts 
“Picture” marks the greatest advance up to date. The 
flowers are of enormous size and superb form, the 
outlines of the flowers being in every respect the most 
perfect in existence. The stems are of great length, and six 
perfect blooms on a spray occur frequently. The colour is a 
rose-flushed flesh pink, the whole suffused creamy apricot, a 
charming combination of colour. The fragrance is pro- 
nounced and verv sweet. F.C.C., Shrewsbury. Award of 
Merit. R.H.S. Award of Merit. N.S.P.S 18
