Giant pegting Spencer Sweet Peas. 
Bi om 4 Weeks Earlier than the Late Spencers, and Under 
‘The plants of this new race are of strong constitution, vig- 
_ orous growth, profuse and bloom continuous for about four 
nonths, grown under congenial conditions. Grown in the 
pen ground they begin flowering in about 106 days from 
ed sowing or fully four weeks sooner than late flowering 
weet Peas sown at the same time, and they continue to 
flower in profusion for fully 4 thonths. It is predicted by 
Pea authorities that this race will supplant all other 
rly and late flowering Sweet Peas for winter flowering under 
glass, and also for open ground culture in_our Southern 
_ States—sown preferably in fall or winter. Condensed cul- 
aot suralinstructi ions for both garden culture under northern and 
ze southern conditions and for winter flowering under glass are 
' given in Henderson's leaflet “‘How to Grow Sweet Peas to 
_ Perfection’’ free to customers.

STANDARD VARIETIES AND NOVELTIES 
Sweet Peas, gay and fragrant, are the most universally 
__ popular annual flowers cultivated. Inexpensive, easily and 
— quickly grown from seed, thriving in town or country gardens, 
supplying an abundance of continuous bloom for months— 
- anadornment to garden, house orcorsage. Isit any wonder 
that they are ‘‘everybody’s flowers,”” and have been for 
generations? A few years ago, a paragon type appeared in 
_ the famous gardens of Earl Spencer, Northamptonshire, 
_ England. This newcomer, extremely beautiful, the fairest- 
formed and largest Sweet Pea ever grown, was named 
“Countess Spencer’’-and from this has sprung the glorified 
modern race ofjGiant Waved “‘Spencer’’or ‘‘Orchid-flowered”’ 
Sweet Peas. 
The characteristics of the Spencer Sweet Peas, grown under 
congenial conditions are: robust growth, the plants attaining 
_ a height of from 6 to 10 feet, requiring for full development 
to be not less than 6 inches apart; a foot apart is better. 
The flowers are giants among Sweet Peas, measuring 2 to 
- 2Minchesacross. They are beautifully formed and daintily 
waved. Three and often four or five of these queenly 
__ blossoms are borne on long, strong stems.
