 SPENCER SWEET PEAS 



STANDARD VARIETIES AXD NOVELTIES 



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

 flowers cultivated. Inexpensive, easily and quickly grown from seed, thriving 

 in town or countrj' gardens, supplying an abimdance of continuous bloom 

 for months — an adornment to garden, house or corsage. Is it any wonder that 

 they are "everybody's flowers," and have been for generations. A few years 

 ago, a paragon type appeared in the famous gardens of Earl Spencer. Xorthamp- 

 toushire, England. _This newcomer, extremely beautiful, the fairest-forrhed 

 and largest Sweet Pea ever grown, was named "Countess SpenceF' and from 

 this has sprung the glorified modern race of Giant Waved "Spencer" or "Or- 

 chid-flowered" Sweet Peas.
