New Early-Flowering Spencer Sweet Peas 



As the result of the great attention which the Early Orchid-flowering Sweet Peas are receiving from 

 the leading hybridizers who appreciate fully their value as a commercial cut flower for growing under 

 glass as well as their value to the amateur for outdoor culture, all of the leading colors are already repre- 

 sented in this class, of which the six varieties offered below are among the latest and best introductions. 

 These, together with the twelve distinct older varieties offered on page 1 12, make up what is undoubtedly 

 a splendid and comprehensive collection.

 Identical in color to the popular Elfrida Pearson.
