SWEET PEAS 
There are no Annual Climbers that are more popular or more universally admired than Sweet Peas. They 
are of the easiest culture, unrivaled for cutting, delightfully fragrant, while their colors are amongst the 
brightest and daintiest in the floral world. As soon as the ground can be worked in the Spring, sow the seeds 
in trenches at least 6 inches in depth, then as the plants grow fill in the soil about one inch at a time until 
the trenches are full, taking care not to cover the young plants. Liquid manure applied occasionally will be 
found very beneficial. Pick the flowers frequently, for if allowed to form seed the plants will soon stop 
blooming. 
COOK’S SPENCER TYPE SWEET PEAS 
The Spencer Types of Sweet Peas are a great im¬ 
provement over the large flowering varieties. For 
cutting and exhibition purposes they are indispens¬ 
able. The following varieties are a selection of the 
many kinds of this class best adapted for general 
use. 
APPLE BLOSSOM SPENCER. Rose standards, blush 
rose wings beautifully waved. 
AUSTIN FREDERICK IMPROVED. Large, pure 
lavender. 
AVALANCHE. A very large flower, strong and 
heavy, and of the purest white. Pkt. 15c, oz. 75c. 
BLUE CHARM. (Duplex type.) Claimed to be the 
largest Sweet Pea in cultivation. The beautiful 
clear shade of blue makes it an exceptional variety 
for the exhibitor, and it is distinctive in size and 
texture. Sprays of four beautiful frilled flowers are 
produced freely and nearly every bloom is duplex. 
Pkt. 25c. 
BLUE FLAME. A large dark blue Sweet Pea. It is 
deeper than anything in the blue class. Fine long 
stems, and the flowers are very sweet-scented. Pkt. 
25c, oz. $1.00. 
BARBARA. The best salmon or exhibition purposes. 
BLANCHE FERRY SPENCER. Rose standard with 
white wings. 
CELEBRITY. The most vigorous-growing, orange- 
colored Sweet Pea. Its flowers are unusually large 
and the stems long and strong. The color is uniform 
in standard and wings, and bright rather than dark. 
We cannot recommend this variety too highly. 
Pkt. 15c, oz. 75c. 
CHARITY. This is, without a doubt, the finest rich 
brilliant crimson which does not burn in the sun. A 
vigorous grower, the exquisitely waved flowers are 
usually produced in fours on long graceful stems. 
Pkt. 10c, oz. 50c. 
Unless marked, any of the above varieties:
