Flowering Spencer Sweet Peas

doors in the southern states. 
Novelty Varieties 
Bridesmaid. U)j6 Novelty. A delicate, spark¬ 
ling shade of silver-pink, as vigorous and 
healthy and as slim and supple as the name 
implies. Bridesmaid bids fair to outstrip 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.; 60c. per J^oz ; oz., $1.00. 
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 
obtained in a Sweet Pea. The flowers are large, 
well placed on long stems. Vigorous grower 
and free bloomer. Pkt., 25c.; 60c. per J^oz.; 
oz., $1.00. 
Sequoia. rpj6 Novelty. An enormous rich 
golden cerise color, and so frilled and wavy 
are its widespread 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.; 
60c. per J^oz.; oz., $1.00.

size and richness of color in Pinkie, plus the 
dainty frilled and fluted flowers of Lady Gay.

Pinkie. Pkt., 25c.; 60c. per 3^oz.; oz., $1.00. 
Sweet Briar. A mammoth-flowering rich rose- 
pink on a white ground, with a touch of amber.

gorgeous. Plant is a vigorous grower with 
stout stems throwing colossal fours in abun¬ 
dance. Pkt., 25c.; 60c. per J^oz.; oz., $1.00.
