Novelty Sweet Peas 
HA 
Ruffled Exquisite. Scintillating salmon-cerise with a glow of stronger 
salmon in the standards—absolutely distinct in color. Under artificial light 
the color is still more beautiful, bringing out the rich salmon tone. Sun¬ 
proof. Flowers of the largest size, beautifully ruffled and duplexed. Borne 
in fours and fives on long, strong stems. Pkt. (20 seeds) 30 cts.; 4 pkts. $1. 
Ruffled Blue. Beautiful ruffled and duplexed mid-blue flowers, nicely 
arranged in fours on long stout stems. Plants are vigorous and free flower¬ 
ing. Pkt. (20 seeds) 30 cts.; 4 pkts. $1. 
Ruffled Mauve. Large, well-ruffled and duplexed flowers of a rich and pleas¬ 
ing clear mauve. A lighter shading towards the edges of the standards and 
wings, and in the extreme rufilings adds life never before seen in a mauve- 
colored Sweet Pea. Vigorous grower. Pkt. (20 seeds) 30 cts.; 4 pkts. $1. 
Ruffled Purple. Rich glowing shade of purple, further enlivened by a 
sheen of coppery rose over both standard and wings. The color is even 
more lively under artificial light, as it takes on a warmer and rosier glow. 
The large, well-formed flowers are ruffled and duplexed, and borne con¬ 
sistently in fours on long strong stems. Pkt. (20 seeds) 30 cts.; 4 pkts. $1. 
Eschscholtzia, Monarch Art Shades ha 
Compact strain of large-flowering Eschscholtzia in mixture, which carries 
its flowers well above the foliage, and is ideal for bedding. Each bloom is 
large, semi-double, and of exquisite formation. Colors range through light 
rose to deep rose and carmine, and from deep golden yellow through all the 
varying tones to orange and scarlet. This variety originated in England where 
it has proved amazingly popular in its first year of introduction. Pkt. 30 cts.; 
4 pkts. $1. 
Moricandia sonchifolia hha 
This half-hardy annual produces pretty lavender flowers somewhat re¬ 
sembling the Viola, Jersey Beauty, but is stronger in substance and more 
erect in habit. Fine for early spring flowering. Pkt. 50 cts.; 3 pkts. $1.25.
