SCHELL’S QUALITY 
SWEET PEAS 
They are very easy to grow to perfection, bearing great num¬ 
bers of flowers on strong, stiff stems continually all season if 
you just give them some attention, fertilizer, and cultivation. 
Grow a row or two of them this year. 
Large-flowering Spencer Mixture 
This we make up of all the best of the Large-flowering Spencer 
type which are credited as being the best of their individual 
color and class. The flowers are very large. It is impossible to 
make a better mixture of Spencer varieties than this is. It is 
the best. Mixtures offered at higher prices cannot surpass it 
in quality. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; )41b. 50 cts.; lb. $1.60.

Seven New Early-flowering Sweet Peas 
HOPE. Pure white. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 50 cts.; Mlb. $1.50. 
LAVANDA. We consider this the finest pure, clear lavender 
Sweet Pea to date. It excels in color, in size and length of 
stem, with 4 blossoms on each stem, and highly perfumed. 
We recommend it highly. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 50 cts.; Mlb. $1.50. 
VALENCIA. Color bright orange, sunproof, and having 
what all other orange Sweet Peas lack —immense vigor in 
growth, length of stem, and size of blooms. Where 
other orange Sweet Peas throw only two and three blooms to 
a spray, Valencia throws three and four. Pkt. 10 cts.; 
oz. 50 cts.; 341b. $1.50. 
MAJESTIC ROSE. An immense, deep rose-pink. The color 
in Majestic Rose is more evenly diffused than in any other 
Sweet Pea in this color class. This improvement in color 
gives it a brilliance which is quite new. Note this —in vigor 
of growth, length of stem, and size of bloom, Majestic 
Rose EXCELS ALL OTHER EARLY Sweet Peas. Pkt. 
10 cts.; oz. 50 cts.; 341b. $1.50. 
BLUE BONNET. An extra-large, fine deep blue. The color 
is evenly distributed throughout the flower without the 
slightest trace of mauve. By careful comparison, the color 
and vigor of Blue Bonnet are far superior to any other 
blue on the market. It has very long stems and four 
blossoms to a stem. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 50 cts.; 341b. $1.50. 
GRENADIER. Large, dazzling scarlet flowers. We consider 
it the best scarlet to date. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 50 cts.; 341b. $1.50. 
SHIRLEY TEMPLE. The flowers are mammoth, the 
largest we have ever seen on any Sweet Pea, and four flowers 
on each long stem. Their color is a soft rose-pink. It 
begins blooming a month ahead of the late Spencers and 
continues longer. The plants are large, strong, and vigorous. 
This, the most beautiful of all Sweet Peas, was named with 
Mr. and Mrs. Temple’s gracious permission, in honor of 
Shirley Temple. Pkt. 15 cts.; 2 pkts. 25 cts.; oz. 70 cts.; 
341b. $2.50. The flowers are very much larger than illustra¬ 
tion on page 21, which has been reduced. 
VERBENA hybrida grandiflora. Largest Flowering Strain.

display during the summer months as the Verbenas, or

plants can be produced from seed as readily as almost any 
tender annual. They flower in July, and continue strong 
and healthy until destroyed by frost.
