SWEET PEAS 



Giant Spencer and Orchid-Flowering Varieties 



NEW WAVED TYPE SPENCER SWEET PEAS. During the past few years an evolution has Ijoen going on 

 in the Swcn^t Pea world, which has resulted in the creation of a glorious new giant-flowering class, a type distinct in 

 form, size and beauty. 



These new Sweet Peas are distinguished for their gigantic size, usually measuring 2 inches across; the bold, 

 erect standards are uniformly waved, crimpled and fluted in exquisite fashion; the charming l)lendings of harmonious 

 colors; the exceedingly long flower stems, which make them unexceled for cutting; the great profusion of flowers and 

 the large numl^er of flowers on the stem, usually from 3 to 4. The following 19 sorts comprise a collection of New 

 Giant Waved Type Spencer Sweet Peas. 



Cultural Note. — The seed should bo sown in new ground as early as it can be worked in the Spring to enable 

 the vines to make a good, strong growth before the hot weather sets in. White-seeded sorts should not be sown 

 until the ground is comparatively dry and warm. Fall plantings give the best I)loom ; plant in September and Octo- 

 ber, 4 to G inches deep, giving slight protection, and they will become well rooted and grow off at the first opening 

 of Spring and yield an abundance of bloom earUer and for a longer season than if planted in the Spring. Use 

 plenty of well-rotted manure, and don't gather the blooms grudgingly — the more you pick them the longer and bet- 

 ter they will bloom.
