SWEET PEAS 
Early or Winter Flowering 
Our list of Sweet Peas has been very carefully checked to include the very finest 
varieties in each color classification. We have endeavored to make our color classi¬ 
fication of real value to you and to make it easy to choose the varieties you want. 
Second-rate varieties have been eliminated.

Columbia. Best bicolor, pink standard, 
white wings. 
Blue Shades 
Ball Blue. Good blooming, clear blue. 
*Blue Bonnett. Very large, deep blue, best 
of that shade. 
♦Eleanor Blue. A new shade, clear light 
blue with a silvery sheen. Very frag¬ 
rant and long-stemmed. This variety 
does best for the late planting after 
Mums. 
Mrs. Herbert Hoover. A bright blue call¬ 
ed “California Blue.’’ 
Cerise or Cherry 
♦Eileen. New, rich rose with salmon shad¬ 
ings changing under certain lights to 
dazzling cerise. Very large flowers with

seeded. 
Crimson 
Aviator. Dazzling rich crimson. 
Susanna. Sparkling carmine red, stems 
long and wiry carrying four beautifully 
ruffled flowers. 
Lavender Shades 
Early Memory. A grand new clear, rosy- 
lavender variety. The shade does not 
lighten with age, and it is perfect for 
blending with pink shades. The vines 
are vigorous and bear a heavy crop of 
long-stemmed blossoms. 
Fragrance. Large frilled, fragrant, clear 
lavender, by many considered the best 
of all lavenders. 
♦Harmony. A valuable variety probably 
used more than any other lavender.

we consider it the finest of all lav¬ 
ender Sweet Peas. A clear blue shade, 
extremely large, well waved and borne 
on long stems. A very heavy yielder. 
Triumph. New Lilac Mauve variety. 
Pink (Deep) - Deep Rose Pink 
♦Annie Laurie. We cannot say too much 
in praise of this beauty. It is the 
richest tone of rose pink ever intro¬ 
duced in a Sweet Pea. The flowers are 
produced in fours on long stiff stems. 
Majestic Bose. Richer and deeper than 
Zvolaneks Rose, a brilliant rose pink. 
The color is very evenly diffused lack¬ 
ing the usual white at base of stan¬ 
dards and wings. 
Sirs. H. U. Holscher. Fine clear rose pink. 
Orange (Deep) 
Balls Orange. Clear deep orange. 
Burpee’s Orange. A light shade of clear

Balls Rose Improved. Extra rich shade 
deeper than Rose Queen. 
Balls Rose Queen. Long stemmed light 
rose. 
♦Bridesmaid. Sparkling deep silvery pink. 
♦Colossal Rose. Largest of all pink Sweet 
Peas. Color of Jeanne Mamitsch but 
much more vigorous.

The flowers, very large, are wavy and 
well spaced, and four to a stem. 
Giant Rose. Deep pink, an improved 
Zvolanek’s Rose, flowers larger and 
longer stems. 
Jeanne Mamitsch. A rather pale pink, 
shading to deeper rose pink. 
Josie. Rich rose pink, one of the largest 
and longest stemmed. 
♦Laddie Improved. An enormous rose pink, 
on a white ground. Very fine for long 
stout stems. 
Shirley Temple. A cross between Late 
Spencer Pinkie and Early Lady Gay 
with the size and richness of coloring 
of Pinkie and the dainty form of Lady 
Gay. 
Sweet Briar. A mammoth flowered rich 
rose pink. A sparkling shade with just 
a tone of amber which makes it a 
beauty under artificial light. 
Zvolanek’s Rose. A select strain of this 
popular rose pink. 
Rose - Golden or Begonia Rose 
Mother Machree. A beautiful blend of 
coral and golden rose, with semi-
