Denton, Mont. 
Gentlemen: 
Last spring I sent for a 25c package of your X-L Spencer Royal mixture 
sweet peas. They are the most gorgeous that anyone has ever raised in 
Denton. And out of town visitors said that they had never seen sweet 
peas as tall and with so many beautiful blossoms. They are 12 feet 
high and still have hundreds of blossoms (Oct. Sth). I have picked them 
every day since the first part of July and they are so high I must use 
a step ladder to reach them. I am enclosing a snap shot, but wished that 
I could have had a colored photograph to show the colors. Words could 
simply not describe their beauty. They had such long stems and most of 
them had four blossoms on each stem. I certainly want the same kind 
next year. 
Sincerely yours, 
MRS. GEORGE HUNTER.

THE BEST STANDARD FLOWERING 
SPENCERS FOR THIS CLIMATE 
All are produced on bushy vines. They are selected for 
their long stems and large, wavy blossoms. You will find 
tha? fading out and loss of color from the hot sun would be 
much less in these varieties than with many of the others 
that are being offered. 
1536—-SEXTET QUEEN. An unusually large white sweet 
pea often times having as many as 5 or 6 blossoms on a 
stem. 
1538—HUNTSMAN. The brightest scarlet yet introduced. 
Makes an outstanding bouquet when used by itself. 
1540—-WARRIOR. A deep maroon. Is now considered better 
than any deep red available. 
1542—PINKY. Still remains as one of the largest sweei 
peas in the deep pink class. 
1544—-POWERSCOURT. This beautiful lavender is outstand- 
ing in the standard flowering varieties. When combined with 
Pinky or Jumbo it makes a breath-taking bouquet. 
1546—CREAM GIGANTIC. A large new cream that seems 
to hold color a bit better than the other cream shades. 
1548—PATRICIA UNWIN. A deep creamy pink that elim- 
inates the complaint of being ‘‘a washed out color.”’ 
1552—GOLD CREST. A clear salmon orange. 
1556—JUMBO. This color has definitely been needed in 
the large wavy type sweet peas. A bright, cerise pink with 
an undercurrent of cherry red. Sets 4 blossoms. 
1558—CHINESE BLUE. The only solid rich blue yet avail- 
able. Large, wavy blossoms on long stems. 
Prices on the above ten varieties: 
Pkt., 10c; 12 oz., 20c: oz., 35c; 1% lb., $1.05.

OUR MOST POPULAR SELLER 
GRAHAM & ROSS ROYAL MIXTURE OF STANDARD 
FLOWERING SWEET PEAS 
1554—-This Grand Prize mixture has been carefully selected and balanced to incorporate only the best heat 
resisting varieties with large ruffled and wavy blossoms borne on long stems. We cannot recommend a better 
mixture for general garden use and fer cut flowers. Even those people who have found it profitable to sell sweet 
pea bouquets will find this mixture remarkably adapted to their purposes. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; 1% lb., 85c; 1% Ib., 
EARLY FLOWERING SWEET PEAS 
When sown at the same time as Standard Spencer Sweet 
Peas, they will commence blooming 10 days to two weeks 
earlier. While they have been the most popular type since 
their introduction, we find that they cannot stand the ex- 
tremely hot weather quite as well as some of the standard 
flowering types. 
The following Flowering Varieties are considered best for 
this climate. All have from 3 to 5 large, wavy blossoms 
borne on long, stiff stems. They are as nearly sun-proof as 
possible and most of them are delightfully fragrant. These 
Sweet Peas are also recommended for those growers that 
plant in the Fall. 
1535—-"SHIRLEY TEMPLE. We have yet to find a better pink 
than Shirley Temple. Blossoms are fluted and daintily frilled 
and are borne generally in clusters of four on long, stiff 
stems. Foliage is heavy. 
1568—-MARS. The best deep red in the early flowering 
varieties. 
1562—-MRS. HERBERT HOOVER. Clear, deep blue flowers 
that are delicately perfumed. 
1564—LAVANDA. We are using this variety as superior to 
Fragrance. It is a pure clear lavendar so clear and uni- 
form that full grown blosoms and partly opened buds are 
of exactly the same color. Without a doubt this excels a!) 
other lavender sweet peas. 
1566—SNOWSTORM IMPROVED. Recognized as the out 
standing white in the Early Flowering class. 
Prices on any of the above straight colors in early flower- 
ing. Pkt., 10c; 1% oz., 35c; oz., 60c; 14 lb., $1.80. 
1570—X-L NEW GIANT EARLY ORCHID 
FLOWERING MIXED 
Try a generous row of this mixture in your garden. The 
blend contains a choice selection of named varieties, and the 
flowers will make a brilliant show. Pkt., 10c: ¥% oz., 25¢; o:., 
40c; % Ib., $1.25. 
1572—Everlasting or Perennial Sweet Pea 
A hardy perennial climber. Sow the seed in rich ground 
1 inch deep. They bear large compact clusters of flowers 
resembling those of the Sweet Pea but without fragrance 
and give profusion of bloom all summer. Mixed. Pkt., 10c; 
V2 oz., 35¢; oz., 65c.
