New Sweet Peas for 1916 
Every enthusiast of Sweet Peas must welcome our offer for this year, for it is the most 
complete and thorough of any in the world, and we dare say that it is the moat critically selected. 
We might possibly have offered more varieties, but none more worthy than what wo do 
offer. 
§5025. - Annie Sculpher (Deal). A lovely glowing tint of salmon ceriso. The most 
charming color, or rather combination of colors, yet seen in Sweet Peas, and very 
difficult to describe. The warm salmon orange ground color of the flower scintillates 
through the rich, bright cerise pink and illuminates the flower delightfully. It is 
several shades richer and deeper in color than the beautiful “Edith Taylor,” which 
variety it excels. Four flowers, well placed upon long, stout stems, arc uniformly of 
great substance, the standard being bold, expanded and attractively waved. 
Pkt. (10 seeds), $ 25 
§5071. - Blue Gem (Watkins <fc Simpson). For many years the aim of the Sweet Pea 
lover has been to get a variety of a true blue color, free from the reddish mauve tint so 
common in the standards of other existing blue varieties. This new variety is claimed 
to be almost, if not quite, free from this. A beautiful clear mid blue. The flowers are 
of a good size, true Spencer form, throwing fours freely.Pkt. (12 seeds), $ .15 
§5077. - Brookiands Queen (Deal) A striking pale salmon shading on soft rose, with 
slightly paler wings. It is a very pretty and decorative flower and makes a most 
delicate bouquet. The buds open out very deeply tinted, which adds considerably to 
the beauty of the spray. It is distinct from any other variety we know of, and superior 
to many of the sorts now being put on the market. Pkt , (10 seeds) $ .25 
§5115.- Cheerful (Bolton). Rich apricot-pink Spencer self ,very large and fine form. 
Pkt. (12 seeds), $ ..50 
§5132.- Constance Acomb (Holmes). Creamy-white, suffused delicate mauve, with 
buds opening deep cream and wire-edged mauve. A strong grower, with long stout 
stems, carrying four well-placed flowers, much waved and very effective in the bunch. 
The flowers open a pale primrose and change on maturing to the mauve coloring. 
Pkt (10 seeds), 5 .25 
§5205. - Edward Cowdy (Holmes). A glowing orange-scarlet of the largest size, produc¬ 
ing four flowers to a stem, well waved, and of fine form, with a broader and better 
standard than others of a similar color. This variety has proved the best of the orange- 
scarlet section for exhibition, having been conspicuous in the First-Prize exhibits at 
the N. S. P. S. Show. 1915, and at other shows. Pkt (12 seeds), $ .40 
§5227.- Fiery Cross (Malcolm). Has all the appearance of a live fire, the color being a 
scorching fire-red, or scarlet, without any shading, and which scintillates and glitters 
in bright sunlight, thus adding a glowing, fire-like sheen which radiates over the 
flower. Unlike most of the orange scarlet varieties, it does not scorch or burn even 
during extended periods of intense sunshine, therefore, it can be grown in all soils 
without shading. The beautifully waved and fluted flowers are borne freely in threes 
and fours, well placed on long, stout stems. It was awarded the silver medal of the 
National Sweet Pea Society of England, July, 1915, and received an award of merit at 
the exhibition held by the American Sweet Pea Society at San Francisco, June 10,1915.
