EXTRA EARLY FLOWERING SWEET PEAS. 
BEAUTIEUL, FRAGRANT, FASHIONABLE. 
The last few years. has seen a: wonderful dexclopmene 
in Sweet Pea culture. For many years previously the 
“Grandiflora” type had maintained an unchallenged leader-_ 
ship, and new types. were very slow in making their. 
appearance. About ten years ago, however, after several 
years of experimentation a distinctively new type was de-— 
veloped in the gardens of Earl Spencer in England. The 
new flower was called ‘‘Countess Spencer,” and from this_ 
magnificent sort has been. developed that remarkable class 
of Giant Orchid-Flowéred Spencer Sweet Peas known and) 
admired throughout the horticultural world. The “Grandé- 
floras” are somewhat better able to adapt themselves to ad-| 
verse conditions and under such conditions do give greater) 
satisfaction, but when properly grown the “Spencers” in) 
size of blossoms, their beauty of form, substance and color, 
the unusual number on a stem, and in the long continu- | 
ance of their blossoming season easily maintain an unap- 
proachable leadership. Our list embraces the best of both 
types, including also the finest of the beautiful waved ‘“Un- 
win’ varieties. f 
Sowings of Sweet Peas should be made in well prepared ground as early)
