NEW GIANT EARLY FLOWERING SPENCER 

 SWEET PEAS 



Bloom 4 Weeks Earlier than the Late Spencers, and Under Congenial Condi- 

 tions Flower Continuously for 4 Months. 



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

 bloom continuous for about four months, grown under congenial conditions. Grown 

 In the open ground they begin flowering In about 10f> 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 4 months. 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. Condensed cultural Instructions for both 

 garden culture under northern and southern conditions and for winter flowering un- 

 der glass are given in Henderson's leaflet "How to Grow Sweet Peas to Perfec- 

 tion" free to customers.

GIANT SPENCER SWEET PEAS 

 STANDARD VARIETIES AND NOVELTIES 



Sweet Peas, gay and fragrant, are the most universally popular annual flowers cultivated. Inexpensive, easily 

 and quickly grown from seed, thriving In town or country gardens, supplying an abundance of continuous 

 bloom for month* — an adornment to garden, house or corsage. Is it any wonder that they are "everybody's 

 flowers." and have been for generations'? A few years ago a paragon type appeared In the famous gardens of 

 Earl Spencer, Xothamptonshlre, England. This newcomer, extremely beautiful, the fairest-formed and largest 

 Sweet Peas ever grown, was named "Countess Spencer" and from this has sprung the glorified modern race of 

 Giant Waved "Spencer" or "Orchid-flowered" Sweet Peas. 



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 61nchesapart: 

 a foot apart Is better. The flowers are giants among Sweet Peas, measuring 2 to 2 1/2 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.
