One Great Secret of Sweet Pea Growing is to Keep the Roots Cool 
Early Flowering Speneer Sweet Peas 
Spencer or Orchid-flowered Sweet Peas 
The best of the old-fashioned or Crandiflora varieties are now quite overshadowed by this wonderful 
type, which are quite distinct, having large, round, open flowers of extraordinary size, usually measuring 
2 inches across, with wavy standards and wide-spreading wings, a very large percentage bearing four of 
these immense blossoms to the stem, which is long and strong, making them of exceptional value for cut¬ 
ting. All the sorts offered below have been thoroughly tested and are very superior in every respect. 
New Early-flowering 
Spencer Sweet Peas 
These new varieties come into bloom three to 
four weeks earlier than late Spencers, and there¬ 
fore should be well in flower before our summer 
heat arrives. Vines are less branching than those of 
the later type. The blossoms are larger and beau¬ 
tifully waved, of perfect Spencer form, borne three 
and four on extra-long stems. The most popular of 
all Sweet Peas.

Sometimes Sweet Pea vines are troubled with lice 
(Aphis). Spraying with Red Arrow or “Black Leaf 
40,” kills them quickly and does not injure the 
flowers.
