The Giant Waved 

 Spencer Fwed- Sweet Peas 



STANDARD VARIETIES AND NOVELTIES 



The world-wide popularity o£ the new race of Giant Waved Spencer Sweet 

 Peas, their sportive tendency and the ease with which they are hybridized or 

 cross-bred, has resulted in the production of a legion of varieties by enthu- 

 siasts and growers both in Europe and America. In consequence numbers 

 of varieties under different names have proven to be identical and many 

 others are closely similar. Therefore in our effort to simplify this con- 

 fusion of names we made a thorough study and comparison of hundreds of 

 varieties grown at our trial grounds the past summer and after the name of 

 such variety we offer is bracketed in italics the synonyms and those "too 

 near alike." 



To aid in selecting certain colors, we submit the following key: 



Should the name of some old favorite be missing, by referring to its color 

 class a similar and better variety may be selected.
