SEASON'S 12 BEST STANDARD VARIETIES 
of 'winter Peas 
GOLD MEDAL AWARDED OUR 
"BALL ORANGE" WINTER SWEET 
PEA. ALL ORANGE VARIETIES 
BURN BADLY OUTDOORS. 
V ARIETIES and demands differ everywhere, but the following will be found 
the most valuable in any good cut flower business. They represent the best 
in standard and new varieties. 
Ball Rose Improved. Rich even deep rose-pink. The finest variety 
in this color class, of extra strong growth and free flowering 
habit. During long periods of cloudy winter weather the 
flowers sometimes fail to open well; this is partly overcome by 
increasing the temperature a few degrees. 
Laddie. Bright, clear, extra large rose; vigorous growth and long¬ 
stemmed.. 
Jeanne Mamitsch. Not so large flowered as Laddie, but long¬ 
stemmed, free flowering and of heavy growth. 
Majestic Rose. Bright rose, slightly deeper than either of above 
two. Long-stemmed and free flowering... 
Harmony. Continues to be a fine standard lavender; slightly 
shaded rose. 
Fragrance. Clear even lavender without the shading found in Har¬ 
mony. For our own use we prefer Harmony for mid-winter and 
Fragrance for spring flowering. We recommend this selection 
because of the brighter effect for winter of the shading in Har¬ 
mony. 
Ball’s Blue. Bright mid-blue. Extra free flowering habit and fairly 
long-stemmed. We find this the most profitable blue. 
Mrs. Hoover. Clearly improves Blue Bird in being a brighter blue. 
Extra long-stemmed, strong growth and free flowering. 
Hope. The best standard black-seeded white. Fine for size, long 
stems and growth. 
Ball Orange. The best clear, deep orange. Like all varieties in 
this color stems are not long. Growth medium tall and free 
flowering. Awarded Gold Medal by the Society of American 
Florists. 
Prosperity. Soft glowing rose color with light cream shading; 
extra large flowers and long-stemmed. Highly attractive, par¬ 
ticularly for spring flowering. 
Early Attraction, (new). Deep sparkling rose and salmon combination. 
We like this particularly for spring flowering. Belongs to the long¬ 
stemmed, large-flowering class.

Eileen, (new). Introducer’s description—“A rich Begonia Rose, changing under certain lights 
to a dazzling cerise. This two-tone effect gives it brilliancy of exotic splendour never before 
attained in a Sweet Pea. The flowers are very large, beautifully ruffled and waved and well 
placed on long stout stems. The plants are strong and vigorous.” We have had this new 
variety on trial the past two seasons and find it a deeper and more attractive Prosperity, 
holding its color well during winter, and it is highly attractive under spring conditions.
