This is one of the daintiest of annuals. The seed germinates readily 
and in a few weeks the plant is a mass of small but bright flowers in 
a bewildering range of colors, all blotched and marked in contrasting 
shades. The foliage is delicate and fern-like. It may be sown in 
spring for garden decoration or may be seeded in fall in pots in the 
conservatory or house for spring blooming.

D. & B.’s SPENCER SWEET PEAS 
The Spencers are a 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.
