Giant Spencer Sweet Peas for Autumn Sowing 
New Giant pe2%,, Spencer Sweet Peas 
Rloom 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.

roven its adaptability to American conditions. 
n 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’’ continued in flower, holding its 
large size and phenomenal floriferousness for 
weeks after all other Sweet Peas had passed 
their best. The flowers are large, of round

Giant Spencer Sweet Peas 
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— 
an adornment to garden, house or corsage. Is it 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 of Giant 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 
21% inches across. They are beautifully formed and daintily 
waved. Three and often four or five of these queenly 
blossoms are borne on long, strong stems.
