Beckert's Grandiflora Sweet Peas 



The following are the very choicest Grandiflora sorts. Their size and form, 

 however, render them very attractive and effective. Our stock is grown for us under 

 most favorable conditions, and will be found true to name and of excellent quality. 

 The seeds should be sown early in spring, or, when the ground is not readily pre- 

 pared in spring, fall sowing may be made, in which case the white-seeded varieties 

 should be protected by mulching, kept in place by box-like frames. Or they may 

 be started early in pots in greenhouse or frame and planted out as early as the 

 weather permits. White-seeded varieties, which are more tender than the dark- 

 seeded, should be sown more thickly.

Early Winter- flowering Spencer Sweet Peas 



This new type is receiving great attention at the hands of the hybridizers, and already nearly all colors are represented. They are now 

 very popular and in great demand by commercial florists for forcing under glass for winter and early spring blooming, but are just as 



valuable for the amateur for outdoor culture, coming into flower five or six 

 weeks earlier than the regular orchid-flowered type, and if the flowers are 

 kept picked, continue to bloom over a period of nearly four months. We offer 



the following carefully selected varieties:
