SWEET PEAS 



Sweet Peas have been frequently referred to as the poor man's 

 Orchid solely because of the abundance of blooms, the colors which 

 may be likened to those found in the rarest Orchids. 



America for years has been looked upon as headquarters for seed 

 of this beautiful climbing annual, and with the result that there 

 is now in cultivation hundreds of named varieties. 



We are fortunate in having close acquaintance with all the noted 

 producers of Sweet Pea seed, besides coming in contact with those 

 Florists who make a specialty of this popular flower. Wc have 

 gone over the long list of varieties repeatedly and now offer under 

 color classification what we consider the best of their respective 

 classes. 



CULTURE. Sweet Peas should be sown in drills as early as possible in 

 spring in rich, friable soil. Prepare the bed thoroughly, digging in a quan- 

 tity of well-rotted manure, if it can be done, making a furrow 1 to 6 inches 

 deep. In this sow the seed and cover 2 inches deep. As soon as the plants 

 begin to show through fill in the furrow. This will secure a deep planting 

 without the bad effects of deep covering of the seed at first, and so enable 

 the plant to bloom continuously through the heat of summer. As fast as 

 the flowers come into full blnom they should be cut off, for if the pods are 

 allowed to form the plants will stop blooming. In the selection and growing 

 of our Sweet Peas we have obtained the services of one of the leading 

 expert Sweet Pea growers in the world, who has made the growing, propa- 

 gation and developing of grand, new, elegant varieties of Sweet Peas one 

 of the highest aims of life. We. therefore, commend our extra-superior 

 varieties to you with the assurance that if you plant them you will have, 

 without exception, the finest collection of colors and varieties of Sweet Peas 

 of any one in your locality.

Superb Early Flowering Spencer Sweet Peas 



These varieties are a welcome addition to our lists, for they flower several weeks earlier than the regular Sper.ceTS, 

 and if planted with them you will have a much longer season of bloom.
