SWEET PEAS 
BEAUTIFUL, FRAGRANT, FASHIONABLE. 
The truly wonderful development of the Spencer 
class of Sweet Peas since the creation or discovery 
of “Countess Spencer” a few years ago, is one of the 
‘marvels of the whole history of floriculture. There 
are now literally hundreds of distinct and partially 
distinct varieties, and these have displaced all but 
a dozen or so of the best of the old-type sorts, the 
so-called Grandifloras, Some of the latter we offer, 
as they seem better able to adapt themselves to ad- 
verse conditions than many of the Spencers, but in 
size and shape of flowers, coloring and substance, 
length and strength of stem and other attributes 
the Spencer far outdistances the older type. Our 
Spencer list includes a discriminating selection 
from the best sorts, embracing all the leading 
colors and shades. 
Sowings of Sweet Peas should be made in well 
prepared ground as early as it can be worked. They 
should not, however, be grown two successive sea- 
sons On the same ground. It will be found an ex- 
cellent plan to make a trench about 6 inches deep, in 
which to plant the Seeds, covering at first toadepth 
of 2 inches and gradually drawing in the soil as 
they advance in growth; this will greatly aid the 
plants to withstand our hot summers. Never allow 
them to run to Seed, as once in the Seed pod stage 
they are finished for the season. The more you cut, 
the greater the quantity of blooms they will produce. 
Late fall planting of Sweet Peas is now fre- 
quently practiced, with much success even in the 
Northern States. Earlier flowers and a more vigor- 
ous growth result. The soil should be sandy and 
well drained, and sowings should be made in No- 
vember, when it is no longer likely that the young 
plants will come through the ground. Sow thinly 
§ to 10 inches deep and tamp the soil firmly 
over the Seeds, mounding it up over the rows so as 
to shed surplus water. After the ground freezes 
cover with straw, leaves or manure for the winter, 
drawing back the covering on warm days in early 
spring but keeping it alongside for use in case of a 
return of freezing weather.
