New Giant Early Flowering 

 Spencer^ Sweet Peas 



Bloom 4 Weeks Earlier than the Late Spencers, and 

 Under Congenial Conditions Flower Continuously 

 for 4 Months, Producing Profusely Immense Waved 

 Flowers, "Fours" Predominating, on Long Stems. 



The plants of this new race are of strong constitution, vigorous growth, 

 profuse and bloom continuous for about four months, grown under con- 

 genial conditions. Grown in the open ground they begin flowering in 



i about 106 days from seed sowing or fully four weeks sooner than late ■ 



I flowering Sweet Peas sown at the same time, and they continue to flower 

 in profusion for fully four months. It is predicted by Sweet Pea author- 



i ities that this race will supplant all other early and late flowering Sweet 



I Peas for winter flowering under glass, and also for open ground culture 



I in our Southern States — sown preferably in fall or winter. Condensed 



| cultural instructions for both garden culture under northern and south- 



i era conditions and for winter flowering under glass are given in Hender- 



I son's leaflet, "How to Grow Sweet Peas to Perfection," free to customers. I
