glass for winter and early spring blooming. Also excellent for 
sowing outdoors in the Southern states. 
NOVELTY VARIETIES 
Shirley Temple ( Waller-Franklin ). Originator’s description. 
This Sweet Pea which we consider the most beautiful we have 
ever originated, was obtained through a cross between Pinkie 
and Lady Gay. It has inherited blooms with the size and rich¬ 
ness of color in Pinkie plus the dainty frilled and fluted flowers 
of Lady Gay; the color is softer and more beautiful than Pinkie; 
the flowers are the largest we have ever seen on any Sweet Pea 
and it has long stems, with four very large blooms on each 
stem. Pkt., 25c.; $1.00 per )4 oz.; oz., $3.00. 
Eileen. Rich Begonia rose with salmon shadings, changing 
under certain lights to a dazzling cerise. This two-tone effect 
gives “Eileen” a brilliancy of exotic splendor never before ob¬ 
tained in a Sweet Pea. The flowers are large, well placed on 
long stems; vigorous grower and free bloomer. Pkt., 25c.; 
34 oz., $1.50. 
Sweet Briar. A mammoth flowering rich rose pink on a white 
ground, with a touch of amber. The harmony of this combina¬ 
tion is rich and gorgeous. The plant is a vigorous grower with 
stout stems throwing colossal fours in abundance. Pkt., 25c.; 
34 oz., $1.25.
