Spencer or Orchid-flowered Sweet Peas 
The best of the old-fashioned or Grandiflora varieties are 
now quite overshadowed by this wonderful type, which are 
quite distinct, having large, round, open flowers of extra¬ 
ordinary size, usually measuring 2 inches across, with wavy 
standards and wide-spreading wings, a very large percentage 
bearing four of these immense blossoms to the stem, which is 
long and strong, making them of exceptional value for cutting. 
All the sorts offered below have been thoroughly tested and 
are very superior in every respect. 
It requires one ounce of Sweet Peas to sow 10 feet of single 
row. 
Sometimes Sweet Pea vines are troubled with lice (Aphis). 
Spraying with Red Arrow or “Black Leaf 40,” kills them 
quickly and does not injure the flowers.
