Flowering Spencer Sweet Peas 
The following varieties are especially adapted 
for forcing under glass for winter and early 
spring blooming. Also excellent for sowing out¬ 
doors in the southern states. 
Novelty Varieties 
Bridesmaid. A delicate, sparkling shade of 
silver-pink, as vigorous and healthy and as 
slim and supple as the name implies. Brides¬ 
maid bids fair to outstrip the field in popu¬ 
larity as a cut-flower, in a large table center 
arrangement. Large flowers, usually fours, on 
stems 14 to 16 inches long. Pkt., 25c.; 60c. 
per J^oz.; oz., $1.00. 
Eileen. Rich begonia-rose with salmon shadings, 
changing under certain lights to a dazzling 
cerise. A brilliancy of exotic splendor never 
before obtained in a Sweet Pea. The flowers 
are large, well placed on long stems. Vigorous 
grower and free bloomer. Pkt., 25c.; 60c. per 
oz.; oz., $1.00. 
Sequoia. An enormous rich golden cerise color, 
and so frilled and wavy are its wide-spread 
wings that unless one looks closely he mistakes 
a single flower for two; petals have a tinge of 
russet. Free flowering and a strong, vigorous 
grower. Pkt., 25c.; 60c. per J^oz.; oz., $1.00. 
Shirley Temple. 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.

Pinkie. Pkt., 25c.; 60c. per J4oz.; oz., $1.00.

pink on a white ground, with a touch of amber.
