Spencer Sweet Pea Mixture 
Spencer Choice Mixture 
A superior mixture of the best and new¬ 
est Late Flowering Spencer varieties, very 
carefully balanced to produce an even 
showing of the many colors. 
Spencer Fine Mixed 
An excellent mixture of popular, late 
flowering sorts in all the desired colors. 
Early Flowering Spencer Mixed 
An excellent mixture of the better items 
in the Early Flowering Spencer list. This 
type does not produce as large, branching 
plant growth as the “Late Flowering,” but 
offers the advantage of a longer blooming 
period. Excellent for both greenhouse and 
home garden cultivation. 
Grandiflora 
Sweet Peas 
(Hardy Annual, 6 Feet) 
The Grandiflora is the common type of Sweet Peas, producing more flowers, more 
fragrance and standing poor treatment better than the Spencers, but the flowers are not 
as large and stems not as long. 
For those who wish to grow the separate colors we can supply the large 
blossom varieties in the following: 
Red, Lavender, Blue, Pink, White 
Grandiflora Mixture 
A mixture of the best of the separate colors. It produces a wonderful display 
of blooms in all shades. 
Cupid Sweet Peas 
Dwarf or Bedding Mixture 
This is a dwarf sweet pea, growing only 6 to 8 inches high. Used for edging, low beds 
and pot culture. From June until late summer the plants are covered with flowers of good 
size. Since the plants cover the ground so closely, they do not suffer from drought as much 
as the tall sorts. 
Sweet William 1 /i to 2 feet 
One of the old popular hardy perennials. 
The large trusses of brilliant flowers are 
delightful in any garden. Require a good,

overlapping petals. Color range, pink, scar¬ 
let, maroon, white, usually two shades to 
each plant. Fine for cut flowers.

star-shaped flowers with round lobed petals.

eyes.
