Giant Spencer Sweet Peas 
While Sweet Peas have always been very popular, it has been 
the introduction of the Spencer type that has caused them to be 
the most talked-about flower at the present time. The vines are of 
strong, vigorous growth, surpassing the standard sorts in this 
respect. The wonderfully large, fragrant flowers, measuring up to 
2 inches across, are gracefully formed, on long stout stems, each 
bearing three and often four blossoms. For cutting, vase decora¬ 
tion, and exhibiting, the Sweet Pea stands supreme, and every 
garden, whether large or small, should contain some of the new 
Spencers this year. 
Culture. —A deep,rich, and rather moist soil is best adapted to 
growing Sweet Peas. A place at least 1 foot wide and not less than 
a foot deep should be thoroughly spaded, and a liberal amount of 
manure or bone meal added. Very early in spring, preferably in 
March or April, after digging a trench 5 to 6 inches deep, sow the 
seed 1 inch deep and sow thinly. When 3 to 4 inches high, thin 
out the plants to S inches apart and gradually fill in the trench with 
soil. A trellis or brush should be provided for their support. 
Pick flowers frequently, otherwise the plants will soon stop 
flowering
