MICHELL’S EARLY OR WINTER FLOWERING 43 
SPENCER SWEET PEAS 
While these are especially adapted for forcing under glass for Winter and early Spring blooming, they are also valuable for outdoor 
culture, coming into bloom five or six weeks earlier than the regular Spencer or Orchid flowering type and if the flowers are kept cut, they 
will continue to bloom for a long time. 
Sweet Pea, Shirley Temple 
NOVELTY VARIETIES FOR SPRING 1936 
Bridesmaid (1936 Novelty). A delicate sparkling shade of 
silver pink, as vigorous and healthy and as slim and supple 
as the name implies. Bridesmaid bids fair to out-strip the 
field in popularity as a cut flower, in a large table center 
arrangement. Large flowers, usually fours, on stems 14 to 16 
inches long. Pkt., 25c.; $1.00 per Y, oz.; oz., $3.00. 
Sequoia (1936 Novelty). An enormous rich golden cerise color 
and so frilled and wavy are its wide-spread wings that unless 
one looks closely he mistakes a single flower for two; petals 
have a tinge of russet. Free flowering and a strong vigorous 
grower. Pkt., 25c.; $1.00 per Y oz.; oz., $3.00. 
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 
Pkt., 25c.; $1.00 per Y 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.; 
75c. per Y oz.; oz., $1.25. 
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.; 
75c. per Y oz.; oz., $1.25. 
NEW VARIETIES OF RECENT INTRODUCTION 
Eleanor Blue. Another good novelty in the new and popular 
Eleanor blue shade, a clear light blue with a silver sheen; 
flowers large, frilled and of perfect Spencer form, with fours 
predominating, and pleasingly fragrant. Pkt. 25c.; 60c. per 
Yz oz.; oz., $1.00. 
Fragrance. This delightfully fragrant new variety is in our 
opinion superior to all other lavenders; color a clear lavender 
self; flowers extra large, on long stems. Pkt., 25c.; 60c. per Yzoz.; 
oz., $1.00. 
Michell’s Rose Wonder. A beautiful, clear rose-pink color on a 
light ground. Pkt., 25c.; 60c. per Yz oz.; oz., $1.00. 
Miss Annie Laurie. A splendid novelty in the richest tone of 
pure rose-pink ever introduced in a Sweet Pea. It has long stems 
with four large flowers. Pkt., 25c.; 60c. per Yz oz.; oz., $1.00. 
Sensation (Duplex). A new early flowering variety and excep¬ 
tionally fine; the large duplex petaled flowers give the blooms the 
appearance of being double. Color, clear-toned, luminous 
Geranium pink, which is a new shade in the early varieties and 
excellent under artificial light; the flowers, usually borne in 
fours, are large and well placed. Pkt., 25c.; $1.25 per Y oz.; 
oz., $2.00. 
Susanna. Large flowers of a rich carmine color, on long stems; 
an improvement over existing varieties in this color. Pkt., 25c.;
