Sweet Peas. 
SWEET PEAS 
These beautiful and fragrant flowers are becoming more popular each 
year, and should be grown in every vegetable and flower garden. They 
are hardy and easy to grow, and bloom profusely for many weeks if 
properly cultivated. 
Sow in the spring as early as the ground can be worked, in rows 3 
feet apart, and to get the best results they should be staked as they 
grow about 4 feet high. For very early blossoms sow in September or 
October and cover with straw or litter during the winter. 
SPENCER SWEET PEAS 
The Spencers are j race or type of Sweet Peas with extra large flowers, 
fully double the size of the older forms under good cultivation. The 
spencers have very long stems, and wavy and fluted-edged petals, which 
with their rich coloring give an almost orchid-like appearance. The 
Spencer type will not stand careless cultivation, but if you give them 
careful cultivation, they will fully repay you for the extra trouble by 
their exceptional size and beauty. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 20 cts.
