NEW SPRING FLOWERING SWEET PEAS 
A new vigorous long-stemmed type of sweet pea for greenhouse and outdoors. The blooming period is 
between the Early Flowering and Late Flowering Spencers. The flowers are very large with 3, 4, and 5 
blooms on extra long stems. The plants are highly productive in early spring and bloom well into the hot 
weather of the summer. You and your customers will be well pleased with the splendid color range of 
these new 1942 Spring Flowering Sweet Peas. 
BLACK SEEDED CREAM—Beautiful deep cream. 
Although black seeded, it is as free from the pink 
blush usually associated with black seeded cream 
as we have ever seen. Flowers are large and stems 
long. Extremely vigorous. Long blooming period. 
BLACK SEEDED WHITE (New Stock)—Free from the 
blush pink tinge found in most Black Seeded White 
Sweet Peas. The pure white flowers are of large 
size and perfectly placed on long, stout stems. Sure 
to be a great favorite with commercial growers 
under glass for the late spring season and will be 
excellent for market growers who produce flowers 
in the open. 
DEEP MAROON—Dusky chocolate maroon with a 
satin sheen which gives a brilliant effect. Very 
large flowers, four being borne in abundance on 
long stems. The plants are robust, and the period 
of bloom quite extended. 
LIGHT BLUE—Delicate shade of silver blue or clear 
light blue. Four flowers well spaced. Extremely long 
stems. The same vigor as our other Spring Flower- 
ing varieties. Quantities of bloom. 
LIGHT CARMINE—Clear bright light carmine with 
rose shading. Cream ground gives a warm tone, 
especially under artificial light. Four well-formed 
flowers of good size on extra long stems. 
LIGHT CREAM PINK—Delicate, appealing, apple 
blossom pink with amber or cream underlay. 
Flowers extremely large and bold. Plants are re- 
markably vigorous, yielding quantities of long- 
stemmed, four-flowered sprays.

NAVY BLUE—One of the deepest of navy blue 
Sweet Peas. Flowers unusually large and well ex- 
panded. Remarkably long stems. Quantities of 
blooms over an extended season. A much desired 
color that will be greatly admired. 
PURPLE—Deep, rich, glowing, royal purple—a king- 
ly color. The deep clear color evenly placed on 
standard and wings is enhanced by glossy texture 
of the petals. Large four-flowered sprays, long 
stems, great vigor. 
WHITE SEEDED WHITE—Flowers not so large as 
some of the other Spring Flowering varieties, but 
lack of size is made up in purity of color, length 
of stem, and vigor or growth.
