EARLY SPENCER SWEET PEAS 

“Tops” 
Tops is a beautifully duplexed 
Sweet Pea of a delicate rose pink 
color. From its clear white base it 
achieves that certain brightness of 
tone, which combined with a soft 
salmon sheen, serves to enhance its 
decorative value for any floral occa- 
sion. We would describe this color 
as a bright salmon rose. 
That Tops is not just another 
“rose” is shown by its prolific flower 
production. In our field under ordi- 
nary growing conditions, it produces 
five and six flowers to the stem! 
These “fives and sixes’’ appear in 
the same proportion as fours do on 
most of the better varieties. Tops 
makes vigorous growth and _ pro- 
duces unusually long straight stems.

“Sparks” 
Sparks is a large flowered va- 
riety, with a broad yet daintily 
frilled standard. Each flower ap- 
pears very bold faced, resulting from 
its wide spread wings which are 
selfed right to the base of a well 
formed keel. This intense, yet 
sparkling shade of bright orange 
scarlet has such good substance, 
Sweet Pea Early Rhumba that our open field plantings show 
no trace of sun or wind burn. 
Sparks is a heavy producer of long stout stems, each bearing four flaming blooms. In 
comparison to Vulcan, Sparks is a much more vivid orange-scarlet, with larger flowers and 
increased vigor. R. H. S. Color Chart 721/1.

in a gorgeous new Sweet Pea. 
Colored a glistening golden cerise, Rhumba is large flowered and deeply duplexed. Its 
sparkling golden hue increases the intensity and helps carry this self color right to the keel. 
Rhumba is a heavy producer, throwing husky stems of four well spaced flowers. R. H. S.
