Darlington’s New Sweet Pea: 
MISS A. BROWN. 
T HIS is the most magnificent sight ever seen in the way of a lavender Sweet Pea. It is of the true 
Spencer type, and is far ahead of Mrs. Charles Foster or any of the so-called lavender Spencers. 
The flowers are of a giant size and of exquisite refinement, borne on stems from 15 to 20 inches long. 
The Sweet Pea which has been long looked for has come at last, and no Exhibition Collection will be 
complete without it. Per packet, 1/- (10 seeds). Very scarce.

Baker’s Introductions for 1909. 
Baker’s Scarlet.— A decided improvement on s. d. 
any scarlet in cultivation. It is of much the same 
colour as “ Queen Alexandra,” being rather 
brighter, but of much more vigorous growth and 
what is of still more importance it does not scald 
to anything like the same extent as that variety ; 
of the large grandiilora type—per packetof 25 seeds 1 C 
Earl of Plymouth.— Another charming variety 
ot the ■’Spencer ” type, practically a self buff, 
slightly suffused with rose, deepening as the flower 
ages to rosy buff, throwing a good percentage of 
fours ; a grand exhibition flower 
per packet of 12 seeds 1 0 
Mrs. R. M. Shelton— This variety will be wel¬ 
come on account of its vigorous habit, distinct 
colour, and invariably carrying four blooms ou a 
stem right to the end of the season 1 colour, ros\ 
carmine, slightly hooded, and as a garden variety 
is unsurpassed. per paeket o 125 seeds 1 G 
Mrs. T. G. Baker— One of theflnest varieties of 
recent introduction. In the younger stages the 
flower is beautifully edged and iinted bronzy 
amber, but as the flower develops it becomes almost 
pure white ; mostly four immense flowers of the 
decided ‘-Countess'' type, on splendid stems; 
makes a grand vase for exhibition 
per packet of 12 seeds 1 
One packet of each of the above four varieties, 3s. 6d.
