SCHELL’S QUALITY

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.; J41b. 50 cts.; lb. $1.60.

We recommend it highly. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 50 cts.; 341b. $1.50. 
VALENCIA. Color bright orange, sunproof, and having 
what all other orange Sweet Peas lack— immense vigor in

oz. 50 cts.; J^lb. $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 on the market. It has very long stems and four 
blossoms to a stem. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 50 cts.; 341b. $1.50.

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. 10 cts.; 3 pkts. 25 cts.; oz. 60 cts.;
