! The Giant Waved Spencer or Orchid Flowered Sweet Peas 

 STANDARD VAKIETIES AND NOVELTIES 



The characteristics of the Spencer Sweet Peas, grown under congenial conditions are: robust growth, the plants 

 attaining a height of from 6 to 10 feet, requiring for full development to be not less than 6 inches apart; a foot apart is 

 better. The flowers are giants among Sweet Peas, measuring 2 to 2% inches across. They are beautifully formed and 

 daintily waved. Three and often four or five of these queenly blossoms are borne on long, strong stems.
