SWEET PEAS 
The following named varieties of Sweet Peas have 
been selected from those recommended by the leading 
specialists and we offer them as particularly desirable 
for general culture. 
As early in the spring as the ground can be worked, 
sow the seed at a depth of 6 inches, in a trench which 
has been previously well prepared with manure to a 
depth of a foot or more. Cover the seed with an inch 
of soil; then, when the shoots appear thin out as neces¬ 
sary, and as the plants grow gradually fill the trench 
until nearly up to the level of the surrounding ground, 
the slight depression being left to retain moisture. Sup¬ 
port the vines on brush or wire netting. Close picking 
of the flowers prolongs the season of bloom. 
GIANT SPENCER, or ORCHID-FLOWERING VARIE¬ 
TIES.—The waved, or Spencer varieties of sweet peas 
represent the finest type yet introduced. Being of strong 
growth and bearing large flowers set on long stems, this 
type is preferred by gardeners and florists. The flower- 
standard is round, with fluted or waved edges; as very 
few seeds are set, the blossoming season is lengthened. 
1897. Giant Spencer, or Orchid-flowering *4 lb. Oz. Pkt. 
Mixture. This mixture contains in equal 
proportions colors of the finest varie¬ 
ties of Spencers. The flowers are large 
and waved, borne on sturdy stems; the 
enormous range of colors makes this 
one of the most superb mixtures ever 
offered .Lb. 2.50
