SWEET PEA 
“Little Sweetheart” 
After fourteen years continu- 
ous breeding and selection, 
Macdonald "Little Sweetheart’ Sweet 
Pea was finally introduced 
in the Fall of 1953. Its tremendous novelty value was immediately 
recognized, and as a result our limited seed supply was quickly 
exhausted. 1954 plantings have been increased seven-fold to 
handle all of our customers requirements. 
"Little Sweetheart’ is an entirely new class of Spencer Sweet 
Pea. Plants grow upright and form a perfectly rounded bush about 
8 inches high. (See front cover photo.) These compact little plants 
do not require any support and are literally covered with large 
Spencer type flowers. It is a sparkling mixture with a full color 
range; from white and cream, thru salmon, rose, scarlet and crim- 
son, to mauve, lavender, blue and maroon—with many bi-colors. 
“Little Sweetheart'’ comes into bloom early and will continue 
flowering over a long period. It has been especially developed 
for the home gardener, who can now use this Sweet Pea novelty 
for borders, bedding or pot plant culture. Never before has a 
Sweet Pea been adaptable to so many new uses. 
You should plan now to feature ‘’Little Sweetheart’ Sweet Pea 
in 1955. As a convenience to customers, beautiful full color packets 
are obtainable from the Schmidt Lithograph Co. in San Francisco. 
For catalog illustration, we will have a four color plate 3x3% 
inches showing a rose colored plant in full bloom. Electros are 
available at cost. Black and white photos will be supplied free. 
New crop seed will be ready for shipment in September. We 
suggest that you order as soon as possible.
