PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK—WHOLESALE CATALOGUE—FLOWER SEEDS. 47 
Giant Waved Spencer Sweet Peas. 
The Spencer Sweet Peas, grown under congenial conditions are of robust 
growth, the plants attaining a height of from 6 to 10 feet, requiring to 
be not less than 6 inches apart. The flowers are giants among Sweet Peas, 
measuring 2 to 2% inches across. They are beautifully formed with huge 
standards, open and upright and immense wings gracefully poised. Both stand- 
ards and wings are daintily waved. Three and often four of these queenly 
blossoms are borne on long stems, rendering them unsurpassable as cut flowers 
for vases, bouquets and other decorations. Their long-continued profusion 
of bloom is phenomenal, but accounted for by the fact that a majority of 
the flowers of true Spencers fall as they fade before the seed pod is formed— 
thus continuing the succession of bloom—for as all know when Sweet Peas set 
pods, the flowering diminishes. 
Those marked with * are especially recommended for Florists.

The overshadowing size and beauty of the Giant Waved Spencer Sweet Peas 
has gradually reduced the demand for most varieties of the Grandiflora and 
Unwin types so that we now offer only a list of these limited to the popular cheap 
sorts for sowing in quantity for cut flowers, though they are also very effective 
for garden decoration and may be grown with less care than the Spencers need 
to 2 PRTC their best results.
