SWEET PEAS 
New Early Flowering Long Season Spencers 
The following new varieties of Sweet Peas begin to blossom 106 days after planting 
the seed in the open ground; six weeks earlier than the late flowering varieties 
planted at the same time. They usually blossom for four full months. 
4070. Early Spring Maid. The color is 
a light pink on cream ground and the 
blossoms have the same splendid 
characteristics as “Mrs. Hugh Dick¬ 
son” for a florist’s flower. It is a most 
effective flower, and like the other 
Early Flowering Spencers now being 
offered it carries a great wealth of 
blossoms borne in fours on long 
stems .25c. per pkt. 
4071. Early Melody. This is a deeper 
shade of pink than Early Song Bird, 
on white ground, closely resembling 
Countess Spencer. It is very free 
flowering and sure to be a favor¬ 
ite . 25c. per pkt. 
4072. Early Morning Star. The color is 
a deep orange-scarlet or flame color 
in standard, with rich orange-pink 
wings. It does not burn badly out 
in the open and under glass is mag¬ 
nificent. The flow'ers are large and 
of the best Spencer form, and borne 
in threes and fours in wonderful pro¬ 
fusion . 25c. per pkt. 
4073. Early Song Bird. The flower is 
the same color as Florence Morse 
Spencer. The placing of the flow r er is 
splendid for packing and they are 
borne on long stems in threes and 
fours. We think this will be the lead¬ 
ing pale pink for florists. 25c. per pkt. 
4074. Early Snow-Flake. This is the 
best Early Flowering w'hite-seeded 
White Spencer we have seen. The 
blossoms are very large and of the 
best-w'aved Spencer form. The flow¬ 
ers are borne in wonderful profusion 
on long stems. As a market variety it 
will be in great demand. 25c. per pkt. 
4075. Early Heather Bell. This will be 
one of the most popular shades with 
all florists, as it will be so useful for 
making up for any occasion. The 
flowers are very large on long, stout 
stems. The color is a rich but pleas¬ 
ing mauve. After standing in water 
the color becomes a beautiful mauve 
lavender .. 25c. per pkt. 
4076. Blanche Ferry Spencer. Extra 
early, pink and white, a select strain 
of this variety. 25c. pkt., or 5 pkts. 
for $1.00. 
4077. Mrs. A. A. Skach. A beautiful, 
clear light pink. 25c. pkt., or 5 pkts. 
for $1.00. 
4078. Mrs. M. M. Spanolin. Very large, 
pure white. 25c. pkt., or 5 pkts. for 
$ 1 . 00 . 
4079. Yarrawa. Bright rose with light 
wings. (The new pink Australian 
variety w r hich is a great favorite with 
all who grow it.) 25c. pkt., or 5 pkts. 
for $1.00.
