It has been only a few years since the first of the Spencer Sweet Peas was intro- 

 duced to American gardeners, but they have in that short time so completely 

 overshadowed the old-fashioned, or Grandiflora vaiieties, thai the latter are almost 

 forgotten. The flowers of this wonderful new type are of extraordinary size, with 

 beautifully waved standards and wide-spreading wings, round and open, often 

 measuring 2 inches or more across. A large percentage bear four of these immense 

 blossoms to the stem, and the stems are long and strong, making them of exceptional 

 value for cutting. Moreover, Spencer Sweet Peas are just as easy to grow as the 

 old fashioned varieties. 



In exquisite form and range of elegant colors, there are no flowers to compare 

 with Sweet Peas. New and more beautiful varieties are being constantly introduced. 

 We offer the cream of the Spencer sorts that have been tested and found to be of 

 true merit and distinct in color; every color and shade is represented in the list 

 below. PAMPHLET ON SWEET PEA CULTURE, FREE
