EVERYTHING FOR. THE 



GIANT 

 SPENCER SWEET PEAS 



. STANDARD VARIETIES AND NOVELTIES 



Sweet Peas gay and fragrant, are the most uni- 

 versally popular annual flowers cultivated. Inex- 

 pensive, easily and quickly grown from seed, thriv- 

 ing in town or country gardens, supplying an abundance 

 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, Northamptonshire, England. 

 This newcomer, extremely beautiful, the fairest-formed 

 and largest Sweet Pea ever grown, was named "Countess 

 Spencer" and from this has sprung the glorified modern 

 race of Giant Waved "Spencer" or "Orchid-flowered" 

 Sweet Peas. 



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 not less than 6 inches apart; 

 a foot apart is better. The flowers are giants among 

 Sweet Peas, measuring 2 to '_" > 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.
