Sweet Peas 
Novelty Sweet Peas 
EARLY OR WINTER FLOWERING 
Delicious. This splendid new early-flowering variety is a lovely new 
color—a shade of pale salmon and cream delightfully blended. _ The 
flowers are huge, and the habit and length of stem are everything a 
good Sweet Pea should have. Oz. $1.00; $3.50 per 
Ball Improved Orange. A splendid large-flowering clear, deep glow¬ 
ing orange sort. Oz. 50c.; $1.75 per Vilh.; Ib. $6.00 
Bridesmaid. Novelty. A delicate, sparkling shade of silver-pink and 
as vigorous and healthy and as slim and supple as the name implies. 
Bridesmaid bids fair to outstrip the field in popularity as a cut-flower 
in a large table arrangement. Its large flowers are usually in fours 
on stems 14 to 16 inches long. An ideal variety for shipping. 
Oz. 40c.; $b25 per J^lb.; lb. $4.00 
Eileen. Rich begonia-rose, with salmon shadings, changing under cer¬ 
tain lights to a dazzling cerise. This two-tone effect gives it a brilliancy 
never before obtained in a Sweet Pea. 
Oz. 40c.; $1.25 per i/Ab.; lb. $4.00 
Josie. Rich, clear rose-pink; very large, long-stemmeci flowers. A 
vigorous grower. Oz. 40c.; $1.25 per lb. $4.00 
Navy Blue. A new color in the earlies, and one that has long been wanted. 
It is a rich dark blue with four flowers to a stem. Long, strong stem 
and vigorous grower. Vzoz. 60c.; $1.00 per oz.; V^lh. $3.50 
Sequoia. Novelty. Enormous, rich golden cerise flowers so frilled and 
with wings so widespread that unless one looks closely he mistakes a 
single flower for two. The folds of the petals have a tinge of russet. 
Free flowering and a strong, vigorous grower. 
Oz. 40c.; $1.25 per ’/ilb.; lb. $4.00 
Shirley Temple. New. This Sweet Pea, which we consider the most 
beautiful we have ever originated, was obtained through a cross 
between Pinkie and Lady Gay. It has inheriterl blooms with the size 
and richness of color in Pinkie, plus the dainty frilled and fluted 
flowers of Lady Cay. The color is softer and more beautifu' than 
Pinkie. Stems long, with four very large blooms on each stem. (This 
is originator’s description.) Oz. 40c.; $1.25 per VilF.; lb. $4.00
