SWEET PEAS 
GIANT SPENCER 
Too many varieties of Sweet Peas. It has always 
been a puzzling question to small growers, who, de¬ 
siring to grow only a limited number of sorts, with 
as great an assortment as possible, are sometimes 
rather disappointed because some of the varieties are 
so nearly alike. 
It will be realized that exhibitors and other keen 
growers are influenced by delicate shadings of color, 
by difference in form, by the way the blooms are placed 
on the stem, and so forth. We, therefore, keep a 
sufficiently wide range of varieties to suit these tastes, 
although, to the casual eye many of them are very 
much alike. We have made up our list of varieties, 
which, we believe, will answer all purposes. 
Culture—Early planting is advised so that they may 
bloom before very hot weather. Dig the soil deeply 
to allow deep rooting. Open a trench four to six 
inches deep, in which plant the seeds early in February 
and cover with an inch of soil and press it firmly. 
When up about two inches begin cultivating and grad¬ 
ually fill the trench until it is level. Do not allow the 
roots to become too dry; water at least twice a week. 
Be sure to gather the blooms, otherwise the vines will 
stop flowering. 
Fall Planting—Sweet peas may also be started in 
October, November and December, planting four to six 
inches deep ; give them slight protection and they will 
become well rooted and grow off at the first opening 
of spring and produce an abundance of blooms earlier 
and for a longer season than spring plantings. 
Gather sweet pea blooms frequently; the more you 
cut them the better and longer they bloom.

NEW RUFFLED SWEET PEAS 
ANGLO 
A pleasing new Sweet Pea with unique coloring 
effects. In the bud stage one thinks that at last 
the elusive yellow Sweet Pea has arrived. As the 
flower opens we find a somewhat subdued yellow or 
deep cream suffused blush-pink, deeper at the edges 
and carried high up on the standard and wings. The 
reverse of the standard is pink extending down to the 
base of the petal. A true soft cream-pink of subtle 
and delicate coloring. The lovely large flowers are 
always duplexed and waved and are carried on long 
stems. Pkt. 15c; 2 pkts. 25c. 
LADY RUFFLES 
One of the most exquisite of the Giant Ruffled Sweet 
Peas. Soft pink self on white ground, the warm glow 
of color runs well down to the base of the standard 
and wings. The blooms are large and beautifully 
frilled and ruffled. Lady Ruffles has received the 
high honor of winning the Gold Medal of the Scot¬ 
tish National Sweet Pea Society. Pkt. 15c; 2 for 25c 
RUFFLED WHITE 
New and a most welcome addition to the Giant 
Ruffled class. Pure white flowers of gigantic size are 
often borne five to the spray. They are beautifully 
ruffled with duplex and triplex standards. This is 
undoubtedly the outstanding new white Sweet Pea.
