LARKSPUR EMPRESS TYPE 
“ROSE BUD” 
This new group of ‘’Empress’”’ type Lark- 
spur was started as an exclusive home gar- 
dening strain—as the planis are bushy, semi- 
dwarf in habit and require no stakes or sup- 
port for their heavy trusses of florets. 
“Rose Bud” is a deep salmon pink color 
and has extremely double flowers, larger than 
those found on most Florist varieties. It is 
base branching in habit and produces long 
stems of florets for cutting. Height will aver- 
age between 33 and 36 inches. Each plant 
is a closely compact mass of flowers 
excellently suited for border and background 
work. This is an ideal strain for the average 
home gardener, as a few plants will greatly 
enhance the beauty of her garden and easily 
provide an ample supply of cut flowers.

EARLY SPENCER SWEET PEAS 
“FIESTA” 
Calling to mind the gaudy and gay costumes found at a hilarious California fiesta, the bril- 
liant orange-cerise hues of our novel Sweet Pea “Fiesta” bid fair to outstrip all other varieties in 
this color class. That ‘Fiesta’ is a riot of color under all growing conditions, has been proven in 
numerous greenhouse and outside trials. It is definitely sunproof and another of the new large 
flowered orange types. 
“Fiesta” is a strong self color and almost deep enough to be an orange-scarlet. Its broad stan- 
dard and spreading wings shimmer with spangles of golden-orange that catch and reflect the 
sun's rays. Vigorous and rank growth are closely associated with this outstanding 1942 Novelty, 
which produces a preponderance of four blossoms on long heavy stems. R. H. S. Color Chart

“RHAPSODY” 
Here is a new rose-lavender Sweet Pea that we believe will soon carve a niche for itself 
among the Florist favorites. Husky stems and good free blooming 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 livelier than other lavenders. 
Each flower has a broad 2¥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 Cattlya 
tones blended with the lavender. R.H.S. Color Chart 35/2.
