The characteristics of the Spencer Sweet Peas, grown under congenial conditions, are: robust 

 growth, the plants attaining a height oi from 6 to 10 feet, requiring lor full development to be from 

 6 inches to a foot apart. The flowers are giants among Sweet Peas, measuring 2 to 21/2 inches across. 

 They are beautifully formed, with huge standards, open and upright, and immense wings gracefully 

 poised. Three and often four of these queenly blossoms are borne on long, strong stems, 

 rendering them unsurpassable as cut flowers for vases, bouquets and other decorations. Their long- 

 continued profusion of bloom is phenomenal, but accounted tor by the fact that a majority of the 

 flowers of true Spencers fall as they fade — before the seed pod is formed — as when Sweet Peas 

 set pods, the flowering diminishes. 



Condensed cultural instructions for garden culture under both 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.
