SWEET PEAS 
NOVELTIES AND NEW VARIETIES 
3980. Fiery Cross (191G). “Fiery Cross’* 
has all the appearance of live fire, the 
color being a scorching fire-red or scarlet, 
without any shading, and which scin¬ 
tillates and glitters in bright sunlight, 
thus adding a glowing fire-like sheen 
which radiates over the flower. Unlike 
most orange-scarlet varieties it does not 
scorch or burn even during extended 
periods of intense sunshine. .25c. per pkt. 
3985. Farnham Lavender (1916). Pure 
lavender self, very free, giving mostly 
four flowers well placed on fine long 
stems.25c. per pkt. 
3990. Hilary Christy (1916). Standard 
frosted orange-cerise with crenulated 
fiery-scarlet edge, wings rosy-carmine, 
keel delicate fawny-lemon; its rich though 
subdued colorings are very chaste and 
refined. The plant is strong-growing 
and very free flowering, producing its 
large, beautifully-shaped flowers on long, 
strong stems.25c. per pkt. 
3995 . Lord Fisher ( 1916). A rich, red 
maroon without a tinge of purple shade 
in wings or keel. A strong grower, giving 
four flowers to a stem, well placed and of 
full exhibition size.25c. per pkt. 
3999. ** The President ” (1916). The 
name given this magnificent Novelty is 
most appropriate, as amongst orange- 
scarlet Sweet Peas it undoubtedly takes 
top place. The intensely rich and daz¬ 
zling orange-scarlet color of the flower 
equals in brilliance the Oriental Poppy. 
Large and true Spencer form. Both for 
exhibition and garden decoration “The 
President ” is the most striking and 
valuable addition to Sweet Peas that has 
been offered in recent years.25c. per pkt. 
One packet of each of the above or five

Begonias—Winter Flowering 
Every spring we import from England a fresh stock of these 
beautiful plants, and each year the demand for them is greater. 
For the greenhouse or conservatory they are unsurpassed. 
All who saw the beautiful plants of this type at the 1916 
Chrysanthemum Show in Horticultural Hall, Boston, Mass., 
could not help but admire them. Upon request we will be 
glad to furnish special culture directions.
