M ichell’s Sweet Peas are healthy and easy to grow 
Michell’s Winter-flowering Spencer or Orchid Sweet Peas 
Novelty Sweet Peas 
EARLY OR WINTER FLOWERING 
Bridesmaid. Novelty. A delicate, sparkling shade of silver-pink and 
as vigorous and healthy and as slim and supple as the name implies. 
Bridesmaid bids fair to outstrip the field in popularity as a cut-flower 
in a large table arrangement, its large flowers usually in fours on 
stems 14 to 16 inches long. An ideal variety for shipping. 
Oz. 50c.; $1.75 per %lb.; lb. $6.50 
Eileen. Rich begonia-rose, with salmon shadings, changing under cer¬ 
tain lights to a dazzling cerise. This two-tone effect gives it a brilliancy 
never before obtained in a Sweet Pea. 
Oz. 40c.; $1.25 per i/ 4 lb.; lb. $4.00 
Josie. Rich, clear rose-pink; very large, long-stemmed flowers. A 
vigorous grower. Oz. 50c.; $1.75 per *4 lb.; lb. $6.50 
Sequoia. Novelty. Enormous, rich golden cerise flowers so frilled and 
with wings so widespread that unless one looks closely he mistakes a 
single flower for two. The folds of the petals have a tinge of russet. 
Free flowering and a strong, vigorous grower. 
Oz. 50c.; $1.75 per Vt\b.; lb. $6.50 
Shirley Temple. New. This Sweet Pea, which we consider the most 
beautiful we have ever originated, was obtained through a cross 
between Pinkie and Lady Gay. It has inherited 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. Stems long with four very large blooms on each stem. Above 
is originator’s description. Oz. 50c.; $1.75 per V41b.; lb. $6.50 
Sweet Briar. A mammoth-flowering rich rose-pink on a white ground, 
with a touch of amber. The harmony of this combination is rich and 
gorgeous. Oz. 40c.; $1.25 per Vilb.; lb. $4.00
