SWEET PEAS 



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 

 Sweet Peas, but not fully fixed in character and not so productive as the older 

 varieties. Their size and form, however, render them very attractive and effec- 

 tive. 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-seeded 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.
