M ichell’s Sweet Peas are healthy and easy to grow 
MicKell’s Early or Winter-Flowering Spencer Sweet Peas 
While these are especially adapted for forcing under glass for winter and early spring blooming, they are also valuable for outdoor 
culture, coming into bloom five to six weeks earlier than the regular Spencer or Orchid-flowering type, and if the flowers are kept cut, 
they will continue to bloom for a long time. 
NOVELTIES FOR SPRING, 1937 
BRIDESMAID. A delicate, sparkling shade of silver-pink, as 
vigorous, healthy, slim, and supple as the name implies. Brides¬ 
maid bids fair to outstrip the field in popularity as a cut-flower 
for large-table center arrangement. Large flowers, usually fours, 
on stems 14 to 16 inches long. Pkt. 25c.; 60c. per )/£oz.; oz - $1-00. 
EILEEN. Rich begonia-rose, with salmon shadings, changing under 
certain lights to a dazzling cerise. This two-tone effect gives 
Bileen 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 J^oz.; 
oz. $1.00. 
SEQUOIA. Enormous blooms of rich golden cerise, with a tinge of 
russet, and so frilled and waved are its wide-spread wings that 
unless one looks closely he mistakes a single flower for two. Free 
flowering and a strong, vigorous grower. Pkt. 25c.; 60c. per J^oz.; 
oz. $1.00. 
SHIRLEY TEMPLE. (Waller-Franklin.) This Sweet Pea, which 
we consider the most beautiful we have ever originated, was ob¬ 
tained 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. (Originator’s description.) 
Pkt. 25c.; 60c. per H oz -! oz - $1.00. 
SWEET BRIAR. A mammoth-flowering rich rose-pink variety on 
a white ground, with a touch of amber. The harmony of this com¬ 
bination is rich and gorgeous. A vigorous grower with stout stems 
throwing colossal fours in abundance. Pkt. 25c.; 60c. per Y oz -; 
oz. $1.00. 
VARIETIES OF RECENT INTRODUCTION 
Eleanor Blue. Another good novelty in the new and popular 
Eleanor blue shade—a clear light blue with a silver sheen. Flowers 
large, frilled, and of perfect Spencer form, with fours predominat¬ 
ing, and pleasingly fragrant. Pkt. 25c.; 50c. per Y oz -'< oz - 85c. 
Fragrance. This delightfully fragrant new variety is, in our opinion, 
superior to all other lavenders. The extra-large, clear lavender 
self blooms come on long stems. Pkt. 25c.; 50c. per k£oz.; oz. 85c.

four large flowers. Pkt. 25c.; 50c. per Yoz.; oz. 85c. 
Sensation. (Duplex.) New, early-flowering, exceptionally fine 
variety. The large, duplex petals give the blooms the appearance 
of being double. Color, clear-toned, luminous geranium-pink—a 
new shade in the early varieties and excellent under artificial light. 
Flowers are large and well placed, usually borne in fours. Pkt. 25c.; 
60c. per J^oz.; oz. $1.00.
