SHIRLEY TEMPLE, is the most beautiful Sweet Pea we have ever 
originated. It has blooms with the size and richness of color in Pinkie 
plus the dainty frilled and fluted flowers of Lady Gay. The color is 
softer and more beautiful than Pinkie. The flowers are the largest 
we have ever seen on any Sweet Pea and it has long stems with four 
very large blooms on each stem.$3.00
