SPENCER 
SWEET 
PEAS 
These are a distinct strain of Spencer type 
flowers that bloom fully three weeks earlier 
than other Spencers. The original purpose in 
breeding up these varieties was for winter 
blooms in greenhouses, which has made 
wonderful change in Sweet Pea culture in¬ 
doors. It was soon discovered that these same 
varieties would do equally as well in our gar¬ 
dens by producing fine, large blooms consider¬ 
ably in advance of other strains. We recom¬ 
mend them for garden culture as well as for 
florists indoors.
