SWEET PER NOVELTIES FOR 1942 
“Miss Liberty” 
An outspoken champion for vividness in Sweet Peas, “Miss Liberty” reigns 
queen of the 1942 Novelties in a flashing rose-carmine robe. Immense flowers, 
fearlessly displayed on pencil stems and arrayed in this sparkling carmine 
hue, are indeed a brilliant sight and capable of stirring even the most indifferent 
to words of praise. 
“Miss Liberty” presents the striking contrast of a pure white keel against 
the solid rose-carmine background of standard and wings. This contrast of red 
and white brings out to excellent advantage the delicate moulding of each in- 
dividual flower — even when closely bunched in a large table-center arrange- 
ment. 
Field and trial ground notes on Miss Liberty show it to be a very vigorous 
producer, with four flowers to a stem. The average bloom measures 2¥%2 inches 
across its standard and is 1% inches deep. Miss Liberty is a color between 
American Beauty and Vivian, bettering both in size of flower and length of 
stem. R. H. 8. Color Chart 25/1 to 27/1.

“RAL Ve Y LA 
Here is a new rosy-lavender Sweet Pea that we believe will soon carve a 
niche for itself among the Florist favorites. Husky stems and good free bloom- 
ing growth are typical of this Novelty, as are large bold-faced flowers carried 
four to a stem. 
Rhapsody has a deep lavender base color that is enhanced and enlivened 
by dainty rose-pink tints. In the evening under artificial lighting, Rhapsody 
shows off at its best and seems much livlier than other lavenders. 
Each flower has a broad 2¥ inch standard, similar in form to our Princess 
Blue variety. In comparison to Memory, Rhapsody has a greater depth of color 
and produces larger flowers on heavier stems. It is several shades deeper 
than Harmony and in addition has orchid or Cattleya tones blended with the 
lavender. R. H.S. Color Chart 35/2.
