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. 



Will Supersede All Other Types of Sweet Peas for Winter 



Flowering Under Glass and for Open Ground Culture — - 



Fall or ^ inter Sown — in \\ arm Climates 



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

 profuse and blooni cantinuous for about four months, grown under con- 

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

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

 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- 

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

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

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

 cultural instructions for both garden culture under northern and south- 

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

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