GIANT SPENCER 
Sweet Pea evolution is constantly producing additions to the glorified race of 
““Spencers,”” which have superseded the older types, and in this collection we 
include a number of the most recent. 
The characteristics of the Spencer Sweet Peas, grown under congenial condi- 
tions, are: robust growth, the plants attaining a height of from 6 to 10 feet, 
requiring for full development to be from six inches to a foot apart. The flowers 
are giants among Sweet Peas, measuring 2 to 24 inches across. They are beauti- 
fully formed, with huge standards, open and upright, and immense wings grace- 
fully poised: Both standards and wings are daintily waved, the undulations 
reflecting high lights and casting shadows in the depths, thus showing a varied”

harmony of tones which greatly enhances the coloring. 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 accgunted for by the fact 
that a majority of the flowers of true Spencers fall as they fade—before the seed 
pod is formed—thus continuing the succession of bloom—for, as all know, 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 Hen- 
derson’s leaflet, ““How to Grow Sweet Peas to Perfection,” free to customers.
