SWEET PEAS — Continued 
Miss Willmott. The standard measures one and 
one-fifth to one and three-quarter inches across, and is 
of the richest orange-pink, delicately shaded rose; wings 
also orange-pink. The enormous flowers are borne erect 
upon stiff stems from twelve to sixteen inches long. 
Modesty. In strong sunlight it is seemingly a 
silvery white, but the suffused pink tint is clearly shown 
on closer examination. 
Mont Blanc. This variety originated in the Extra 
Early Blanche Ferry, and like that sort, is of dwarf, 
slender, very graceful habit with narrow leaves, throw- 
ing the blossoms well out from the foliage so that every 
one is well exposed. Its greatest merit is in its ex- 
treme earliness and its consequent fitness for forcing. 
Flowers of good form and size and very clear white 
color. 
Mrs. Dugdale. Crimson rose, on primrose ground. 
Very large size; semi-hooded form of a distinct shell 
shape. Very attractive. 
Mrs. George Higginson, Jr. Eight lavender, almost 
azure blue. The clearest, delicate blue grown. 
Mrs. Walter Wright. The flowers are self-colored, 
of a pinkish-cream tint when first opening, changing 
to mauve and then to a reddish violet when fully 
opened. The standard is both tall and broad, with the 
edges heavily rolled; the wings are of the largest size, 
widely spreading. 
Navy=BIue. The large flowers are of a deep glow- 
ing violet-purple, having the effect of a dark navy-blue, 
although on close examination the standards show a 
faint tinge of claret or wine-red. The flowers are prac- 
tically self-colored, and the deep rich coloring is grandly 
Effective. 
Othello. A deep maroon self-color; very large size; 
standard slightly hooded. 
Prima Donna. A most beautiful bright shade of 
blush-pink. Flowers of large size and finest form. 
Prince of Wales. A grand large flower in a bright 
self-colored deep rose tint. The flowers are beautifully 
hooded — an improved Her Majesty. 
Royal Rose. Semi-hooded form. Standard crimson- 
pink, deepening at center; wings pink. 
Salopian. Crimson scarlet; large size, hooded form. 
The color is cl u.r and bright, though deep and rich. 
Stella Morse. Has a faint tinge of pink underlying 
the cream, producing a true apricot shade; most beau- 
tiful for bunching.

CUPID SWEET PEAS 
Plants are seldom more than six inches in height 
and form a dense mat of richest green foliage fifteen 
inches or more in diameter. The flowers are fully equal 
in size to those of the tall-growing varieties, but are 
placed closely together, generally three or four at the 
top of a short stiff stem. By reason of their close dense 
growth, these Cupid varieties have not always proved so 
successful when planted where the tall varieties grow 
most luxuriantly; the close growth of foliage does not 
dry out so quickly after heavy rains as the tall sorts, 
wdiich are supported on brush and exposed to the dry- 
ing influence of the air. For light, dry soils, however, 
where the tall sorts quickly dry up or are injured by 
blight and insects, Cupid Sweet Peas give the greatest 
satisfaction. Protracted dry weather induces them to 
grow with vigor and flower most freely. In dry loca- 
tions the seed may be sown rather thickly in a drill, 
and the plants allowed to grow in a close row, forming 
a beautiful border of dark rich green, thickly starred 
with the brightest blossoms. For heavier moist soils 
we recommend planting in slightly elevated beds and 
having the plants stand ten inches or more apart. 
Cupids Mixed. All the best colors. Pkt., 5 cents.
