SWEET 
Sweet Peas, since the introduction of the New Spencer types, have 
become more popular than ever, for the improvement in this flower 
the last few years has been greater than anything known for years in 
horticulture. It is not to be wondered at, therefore, that for the last 
few years we have paid particular attention to sweet peas, and have, as 
Sweet Pea, KING WHITE SPENCER. 
Five Newest Giant Spencer 
1955 KING WHITE SPENCER. Without exception the best and 
largest of all Spencer sweet peas. It is of a purer white, of better sub- 
stance and more finely placed on thick, long stems, than White Spen- 
cer. The standard is of the finest form, decidedly frilled and waved, 
while the wings are large, waved and gracefully cover the keel, which 
also is of pure white and large form. The large flowers are generally 
borne 4 on a stem; the stems from 12 to 14 inches long. Undoubtedly 
King White Spencer is superior in form, size and substance to all 
others. Packet, 15 cents; 2 packets, 25 cents. 
1958 MAUDE HOLMES SPENCER. Very large, 
waved flowers of rich, bright crimson and quite sunproof. 
Packet, 15 cents; ounce, 35 cents; 14 pound, $1.00; pound, $3.50.
