Schizanthus—A

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.

which with their rich coloring give an almost orchid-like appearance.

by their exceptior./il size and beauty.
