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. Under the best conditions they grow 6 to 10 feet high, and 

 for full development should stand at least 6 inches apart. The flowers measure 2 to 23^ inches across, are beautifully waved and are generally 

 borne in threes or fours on long, strong stems. To allow our customers to thoroughly test the newest varieties of Spencer sweet peas, we are 

 ofi'ering two collections which include 17 varieties, considered by us as the finest yet introduced, and ofi'ered so cheaply that everyone can aSord 

 to have them. On the 3rd cover page of this book we offer our Best Spencer Mixture, illustrating several sweet peas in colors.
