GIANT 

 SPENCER SWEET PEAS 



STANDARD VARIETIES AND NOVELTIES 



Sweet Peas, gay and fragrant, are the most universally popular 

 annual flowers cultivated. Inexpensive, easUy and quickly gro-rra 

 from seed, thri^ang in town or country gardens, supplj-ing an abun- 

 dance of continuous bloom for months — an adornment to garden, 

 house or corsage. Is it anj' wonder that they are "everybody's 

 flowers," and have been for generations? A few years ago, a paragon 

 tjTJe appeared in the famous gardens of Earl Spencer, Northampton- 

 shire, England, This newcomer, extremely beautiful, the fairest- 

 formed and largest Sweet Pea ever gro-mi, was named "Countess 

 So'^ncer" and 'from this has sprung the glorified modern race of 

 Giant Waved "Spencer" or "Orchid-flowered" Sweet Peas. 



The characteristics of the Spencer Sweet Peas, grown under con- 

 genial conditions are: robust growth, the plants attaining a height 

 of from 6 to 10 feet, requiring for full development to be not less than 

 6 inches apart; a foot apart is better. The flov.-ers are giants among 

 ; Sweet •Peas, measuring 2 to 2}/^ inches across. They are beautifully 

 formed and dnintily waved. Three and often four or five of these 

 queenly blossoms are borne on long, strong stems.
