SWEET PEAS 
Culture May be sown in either very early spring, or in the fall. 
If sown in the fall, sow late enough so the plants will not appear 
above the ground before the ground freezes. Manure and water must 
be used freely if good sweet peas are desired. Manure should be 
applied after a heavy rain or watering. 
SPENCER MIXED This is a fancy mixture of large flowered 
Spencer types, grown by ourselves. A very attractive result

obtained from using this mixture, as the color range is wide 
and well proportioned. Be sure to include this mixture with 
your seed order. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; 34 lb., 30c; lb., $1.00. 
EARLY FLOWERING SPENCERS This mixture is made up of the

be well in bloom before the summer drought. Their blooming season 
is long. They branch less than the late Spencers. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c;

beautiful blooms. Each variety: Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; %lb., $1.00; lb., $3.75.
