Cfurnl Spencer flowered Sweet 1 1 



eas w 



Sweet Pea evolution is constantly producing additions to the glorified race of "Spencers," which have superseded the older types, and in this 

 collection we include a number of the most recent. 



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, requiring for full development to be from 6 inches to a foot apart. The flowers are giants among Sweet Peas, measuring 2 to 21/2 inches across. 

 They are beautifully formed, with huge standards, open and upright, and immense wings gracefully poised. Both standards and wings are daintily 

 waved, the undulations reflecting high lights and casting shadows in the depths, thus showing a varied harmony of tones which greatly enhances 

 the coloring. Three and often four of these queenly blossoms are borne on long, strong stems, rendering them unsurpassable as cut flowers for vases, 

 bouquets and other decorations. Their long-continued profusion of bloom is phenomenal, but accounted for by the fact that a majority of the 

 flowers of true Spencers fall as they fade — before the seed pod is formed — thus continuing the succession of bloom — for, as all know, when Sweet 

 Peas set pods, the flowering diminishes. 



Condensed cultural instructions for garden culture under both 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.
