WINTER-FLOWERING 



SPENCER SWEET PEAS 



NOW READY FOR DELIVERY 



The varieties offered below are now too well known to need much descrip- 

 tion; we classify colors to make ordering easy. 



T?here are no strains of American Winter-flowering Spencers superior to ours. 

 All strains contain rogues. It is, however, easy to eliminate the late bloomers, 

 as they can be readily distinguished by the fact that they branch within an inch 

 or so of the ground, whereas the Winter-flowering type grow in a straight vine 

 with more pointed foliage, making no lateral growth until 18 inches to 2 feet 

 above the surface of the grounud. We recommend all growers to remove the 

 late bloomers when the plants are a few inches high, or as soon as late bloom- 

 ers can be distinguished. The Australian varieties are almost perfectly fixed.
