HENDERSON'S 

 NEW GIANT 



Early Flowering sweet C peas 



Bloom 4 Weeks Earlier Than the late Spencers, Under Congenial Conditions Producing Profusely 

 Immense Waved Flowers, "Fours" Predominating, on Long Stems 



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

 continuously for about four months if grown under congenial 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. It 



is predicted by Sweet Pea authorities 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.
