SPENCER, or ORCHID-FLOWERED 

 SWEET PEAS 



These are beautiful large wavy petaled varieties, three to four 

 flowers to a stem. As they are shy seeders the price will be propor- 

 tionately high.

 der. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 25 cts.

Improved varieties are coming thick and fast and many old favorites must of necessity be dropped from the list. Many of the Spencers are 

 very grand Peas, but not fully fixed iu character and not as productive as the older varieties. Their size and form, however, render them 

 very attractive and effective. Our stock is grown for us under most favorable conditions and will be found true to name and of excellent 

 quality. The seeds should be sown early in spring or when the ground is not readily prepared in spring, fall sowing may be made, excepting 

 the white seed varieties, which should not be sown until soil becomes quite warm and dry, or they may be started early in pots in greenhouse 

 or frame and planted out as early as the weather permits.
