STOKES' SWEET PEAS 



Never more popular than today, and greatly improved over the old types. A good plan is to sow them in double rows, with a wire 

 trellis or row of brush in between. The seed should be put in about 5 inches deep and 8 to 10 inches apart. Do not cover more than 2 

 inches deep at first, covering the vines by degrees as they grow until the trench is filled with soil. Sow just as early as the ground can he 

 prepared, using bone meal as a fertilizer. Keep them well picked and you will have bloom for a long time. 



NEW "SPENCER" OR ORCHID-FLOWERING SWEET PEAS 



This new race of Sweet Peas are of unusual size, waved and fluted and with charming blendings of colors. Flowers are not only e.vtra- 

 large size, but are very distinct from the old Grandiflora type in having the outer edges of the standard and wings beautifully crumpled 

 and waved, the tissue being so full that there is not room for it to lie flatly expanded or smoothly rolled. They will be found much supe- 

 rior to the old type, and with good culture will very frequently have four flowers to the stem. 



NEW "DUPLEX SPENCER." 



There has been a tendency for several 

 years in certain Spencer Sweet Peas to 

 produce sprays bearing flowers with dou- 

 ble standards. Repeated re-selections of 

 these have been made with an aim to 

 fii this characteristic. The " Duplex 

 Spencer," here offered, produces uni- 

 formly large, waved flowers of the true 

 Spencer type. In color both standard 

 and wings are a rich cream-pink, and all 

 the plants will give flowers witli double 

 or triple standards. This will be one of 

 the most profitable Sweet Peas to grow 

 for cutting for market growers or for 

 amateurs. Pkt. 15 cts., 4 pkts. 50 cts.
