PICOTEE 
Youth. The flower is strongly perfumed. It can be described 
as a white ground picotee but with slightly deeper color on 
the edges than its predecessor in this group. 
Sunkist. Similar to Youth, except that it has a cream ground. 
Both these Sweet Peas are dainty color combinations. 
PINK 
Pinkie. Rose-pink with large and frilled flowers. This variety 
is seldom affected by weather conditions and first-class blooms 
can be cut all during its long blooming period. 
Ascot. Clear deep bright pink with heavily waved flowers. 
Beauty. This is the largest and most vigorous blush pink 
Sweet Pea in existence and will displace all other varieties of 
similar color. 
Magnet. Richest, brightest and best cream pink. One of the 
best exhibition and garden varieties. The flowers are of the 
largest size. Gold Medal, Scottish National Sweet Pea Trials. 
Floradale. A most artistic flower of rich salmon-pink on cream 
ground. It received the Award of Merit of the National Sweet 
Pea Society of Great Britain. 
Mayfair. The best, largest and richest colored shell-pink on 
white ground. Very sweetly scented. Award of Merit, Na¬ 
tional Sweet Pea Society Trials. 
Jack Hobbs. Cream-pink, flushed scarlet. One of the largest 
Sweet Peas ever introduced. Gold Medal. Award of Merit, 
National Sweet Pea Society Trials. 
Miss CalifoiTiia. This beautiful Sweet Pea is unsurpassed for 
either exhibition or general cutting purposes. The color is a 
most distinct and beautiful shade of rich pink, deeply flushed 
and shaded with salmon. 
Mary Pickford. A beautiful dainty, cream pink with just the 
faintest suffusion of salmon, making a color combination of 
delightful beauty. Flowers large, decidedly waved on long 
stems. A novelty of real merit. 
Susan. Pleasing combination of flush pink on cream. Will 
blend with most every color of sweet pea. 
EARLY FLOWERING SWEET PEAS 
A new race of Sweet Peas, having the large waved flowers 
of the Spencer type, but flowering fully one month earlier, 
they also continue to flower for a much longer period. Excel¬ 
lent for greenhouse planting and also for outdoor sowing. This 
class is recommended for all sections where spring is late and 
of short duration, as they give flowers before the summer heat 
arrives. Duplexed varieties often have 3 to 4 standards and 
the same number of wings, giving the appearance of a semi¬ 
double flower. 
The following 12 varieties we consider the most valuable for 
cut flowers. Price, pkt. 10c; 1 oz. 40c, 
Shirley Temple is one of the most beautiful Sweet Peas we 
have ever seen. It has 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. 
Exposition Pink. Gorgeous rich pink rather resembling the 
color of the well known Ivy Leaf Geranium “Charles Turner”. 
Majestic Rose. Brilliant rose-pink, richer and deeper than 
Zvolanek’s Rose. 
Lavanda. A pure clear lavender—so clear and uniform that 
full blown blossoms and partly open buds are of exactly the 
same color. Excels all other lavender Sweet Peas. 
Mrs. Herbert Hoover. Bright blue, extra long stems. 
Hope. Pure black-seeded white. 
Valencia. Bright sunproof orange. 
Annie Laurie. Richest tone of pure rose-pink. 
Lady Gay. A delightful shade of soft shrimp pink.

Burpee Blue. Winner of the Award of Merit of the National 
Sweet Pea Society of Great Britain. Another prize winner. 
Flowers are large, beautifully waved, heavily ruffled and

fully frilled, deep rose-pink enlivened by tones and suffusions

tractive.

deeper salmon in the standard. Flowers are of the largest
