PETER HENDERSON & CO., 35 & 37 CORTLANDT STREET, NEW YORK 



NEW GIANT early-flowering SPENCER SWEET PEAS. 



BLOOM FOUR WEEKS EARLIER THAN THE LATE SPENCERS 



The plants of this new race, grown under congenial conditions, are of strong constitution, vigorous growth, profuse and bloom continuously for about four montbi. 

 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 

 lame 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 grouna culture in our Southern States — sown preferably in fall or winter.
