NOVELTIES AND NEW VARIETIES 
of Giant Spencer Sweet Peas 
3999. ‘The President” (1916). The name given this 
magnificent Novelty is most appropriate, as 
amongst orange-scarlet Sweet Peas it un¬ 
doubtedly takes top place. The intensely 
rich and dazzling 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. ( .25

Alfred Watkins 
Fiery Cross (1916). “Fiery Cross” has all 
the appearance of live fire, the color being 
a scorching fire-red, or scarlet, without any 
shading, and which scintillates and glitters 
in bright sunlight, thus adding a glowing 
fire-like sheen which radiates over the 
flower. Unlike most of the orange-scarlet 
varieties, it does not scorch or burn even 
during extended periods of intense sun¬ 
shine . 
Farnham Lavender (1916). Pure lavender 
self, very free, giving mostly four flowers 
well placed on fine long stems.
