SPENCER VARIETIES 
This group includes the largest and most beautifully formed sweet peas. The Spencers have very large waved flowers which 
are produced abundantly on long strong stems, making the blossoms most desirable for cutting. 
The plants of Spencer varieties when grown outdoors are usually in bloom much longer than other sweet peas, as most of 
the blossoms fall off after maturity without setting pods. A characteristic of the best Spencers is an ‘‘open keel.” The petal or 
envelope enclosing the pistil, stamens and anthers is called the keel. In a typical Spencer flower grown under favorable condi- 
tions the anthers and stigma are not clamped together and the envelope of the keel is large and baggy and open at the top.
