MidielTs 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 OF RECENT INTRODUCTION

wanted. _ Blooms are rich dark blue with four to a long, strong 
stem. Vigorous grower. Pkt. 25c.; 75c. per J^oz.; oz. $1.25. 
treasure island, 1939 Novelty. Sparkling glowing orange.

semi-duplex, very strong growing, throwing a majority of four 
flowers on 15 to 16-in. stems. A real orange Sweet Pea of outstand¬ 
ing distinction. Original pkts. 25c. 
DELICIOUS. Novelty. This fine new early-flowering variety is a 
lovely new color, being a shade of pale salmon and cream, delight¬ 
fully blended together. The flowers are huge, and the habit and 
length of stem are everything a good Sweet Pea should have, 
Pkt. 25c.; 75c. per J^oz.; oz. $1.25. 
BRjDESMAID. 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. 15c.; 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 
Eileen 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 3^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. 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 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. 15c.; 60c. per k^oz.; 
oz. $1.00. 
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. 15c.; 50c. per 3^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. 15c.; 50c. per Hoz.; oz. 85c. 
Michell's Rose Wonder. Beautiful, clear rose-pink color on a light 
ground. Pkt. 25c.; 60c. per J^oz.; oz. $1.00. 
Sweet Peas, Delicious 
Miss Annie Laurie. A lovely novelty in the richest tone of pure 
rose-pink ever introduced in a Sweet Pea, It has long stems with 
four large flowers. Pkt, 15c.; 50c. per Hoz.; 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. 
Susanna. Large, rich carmine flowers on long stems. An improve¬ 
ment over existing varieties in this color. Pkt. 25c.; 60c. per 
oz. $1.00.
