PETER HENDERSON & CO.. NEW YORK— FLOWER SEEDS. 



New Giant pi^wSng Spencer Sweet Peas. 



Bloom 4 Weeks Earlier than the Late Spencers, and Under 

 Congenial Conditions Flower Continuously for 4 months. 



The plants of this new race are of strong constitution, vig- 

 orous growth, profuse and bloom continuous for about four 

 months, grown under congenial conditions. Grown in the 

 open ground they begin flowering in about 106 days from 

 seed sowing or fully four weeks sooner than late flowering 

 Sweet Peas sown at the same time, and they continue to 

 flower in profusion for fully 4 months. It is predicted by 

 Sweet Pea authorities that this race will supplant all other 

 early 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- 

 tural instructions for both garden culture under northern and 

 southern conditions and for winter flowering under glass are 

 given in Henderson's leaflet "How to Grow Sweet Peas to 

 Perfection" free to customers.

"YARRAWA." 



This variety from Australia has proven its 

 adaptability to American conditions. In our trials 

 it commenced flowering freely two weeks before 

 other large waved Sweet Peas and three to four 

 weeks earlier than some varieties, all given the 

 same cultural treatment, and "Yarrawa" con- 

 tinued in flower, holding its large size and phe- 

 nomenal floriferousness for weeks after all other 

 Sweet Peas had passed their best. The flowers 

 are large of round waved Spencer form and color- 

 ed bright rose pink with lighter pink wings 15 1 . GO
