Boddington's Winter - Flowering 

 Spencer Sweet Peas 



The New Sensational Australian Spencer Winter-Flowering 



Sweet Peas 



The following varieties are, without douljt. the greatest and most valuable novelties 

 introduced since the famous Yarrawa Spencer marked the commencement of a new era 

 in Winter Sweet Peas. Owing to the intense drought in Australia, the crop of this splen- 

 did Sweet Pea is very short and our stock is limited ; we therefore advise early ordering, 

 to avoid disappointment.
