NEW SWEET PEA 
—Exposition Pink (Named in Honor of “A Century of 
Progress” Exposition in Chicago). We can best describe 
this wonderfully fine Early Sweet Pea as a gorgeous rich 
pink. It is considered one of the richest and most fascin¬ 
ating colors ever produced in Sweet Peas and its peculiar 
color tone is such that when used at night under artiiicial 
light it appears more beautiful than ever. The large 
blooms, four to a stem, are wavy and well spaced. In all 
its beauty there is no Sweet Pea more vigorous, with 
stems long and stout and the plant is a very prolific pro¬ 
ducer of blooms over an unusually long flowering period. 
In every detail Exposition Pink is magnificent. Pkt. lie,
