NEW GIANT early-flowepjng SPENCER SWEET PEAS. 



BLOOM 4 WEEKS EARLIER THAN THE LATElSPENCERS 



The plants of this new race, grown under congenial conditions, are of strong constitution, vigorous growth, profuse and bloom continuously for about four months. 

 Grown in the open ground they begin flowering in about 106 days from seed sowing or fully four weeks sooner than late flowering Sweet Peas sown at the 

 tame time, and they continue to flower in profusion for fully 4 months. It is predicted by Sweet Pea authorities that this race will supplant all other early 

 and late flowering Sweet Peas for winter flowering under glass, and also for open grouna culture in our Southern States— sown preferably in fall or winter. 

 Condensed cultural instructions for both garden culture under northern and southern conditions and for winter flowering under glass are given in Henderson's 

 leaflet "How to Grow Sweet Peas to Perfection" free to customers.

New Early Flowering Spencer Sweet Pea, ■•YARRAWA" 



This variety from Australia has proven its adaptability to 

 American conditions. In our trials, it commenced flowering 

 freely two weeks before other large waved Sweet Peas and three 

 to four weeks earlier than some varieties, all given the same 

 cultural treatment. The flowers are large of round waved 

 Spencer form and colored bright rosepink with lighter pink wings. 

 The exquisite coloring is most effective either by daylight or arti- 

 ficial light and, moreover, the flowers are deliciously fragrant

THE GIANT WAVED SPENCER or Orchid Flowered SWEET PEAS. 



STANDARD VARIETIES AND NOVELTIES. 



The characteristics of the Spencer Sweet Peas, grown under congenial conditions are: robust growth, the plants attaining a height of from 6 to 10 feet, re- 

 quiring for full development to be not less than 6 inches apart; a foot apart is better. The flowers are giants among Sweet Peas, measuring 2 to 2yi inches across. 

 They are beautifully formed and daintily waved. Three and often four or five of these queenly blossoms are borne on long, strong stems.
