Early Flowering Sweet Peas 
"Evening Star" 
Its color is a brilliant orange scarlet suffused orange (Ridgway classi¬ 
fies it as a spectrum red shading to scarlet). Evening Star's broad standards 
hold to the above bright color, while its wings are toned to a lighter hue. 
The plants are strong growers, stems are very long with large bold flowers. 
This remarkable new Early Flowering Sweet Pea, received an award of 
"Excellent” from the New York Florist's Club in 1936, after trial at the New 
Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station, located in New Brunswick.

"Princess Blue" 
A Belladonna blue — from Ridgway it would be classed as a "light Wis¬ 
teria blue," this is a delightful and pleasing shade that was in great favor 
at the recent coronation. The flowers have large bold standards, 2V4 inches 
across and are fashioned with wide spread wings. Both standard and 
wings hold to the same rich light blue color. The stems are long and stout 
and the plant is quite vigorous. Awarded "Special Merit" after trial by the 
N. Y. F. C. 
During the past year numerous trials of "Princess Blue" were sent to 
a group of Sweet Pea specialists under its Trial Ground number 91-35, all 
of the growers rated it A-1 on vigor, length of stem, size and color of flower. 
Price per lb. $3.00 
Tahoe 
Tahoe is a mid-blue, a shade between Mrs. Herbert Hoover and Blue 
Bonnet, but comes with large wavy flowers. From Ridgway's color chart, 
it would be classed as a "Chicory blue deepening to mauve." 
The large wavy standards and ruffled wings have the same delightful 
shade of mid-blue, and in addition the flowers are well placed on long 
stems. The plant is a vigorous, strong grower.

Virginia 
Virginia is a Sweet Pea with character and distinction, reminiscent of 
the South and the beautiful State it is named after. 
A rich rose pink on white ground, its large ruffled sfandard is 2V2 
inches across and both wings are very beautifully spread in proportion. 
The richness of Virginia is enhanced by the purity of its white ground, 
truly a flower brim full of the old Southern traditions and sentiment. 
Virginia is rich in color, superbly moulded, and lithe of stem.
