124 EVERYTHING FOR TIE GAEBEH ° Flowes 3 Seeds 
Sweet Peas gay and fragrant, arc the most uni¬ 
versally popular annual flowers cultivated. Inex¬ 
pensive, easily and quickly grown from seed, thriv¬ 
ing in town or country gardens, supplying an abundance 
of continuous bloom for months—an adornment to 
garden, house or corsage. Is it any wonder that they 
are “everybody’s flowers,” and have been for generations? 
A few years ago, a paragon type appeared in the famous 
gardens of Karl Spencer, Northamptonshire, England. 
This newcomer, extremely beautiful, the fairest-formed 
and largest Sweet Pea ever grown, was named “Countess 
Spencer’’ and from this has sprung the glorified modern 
race of Giant Waved “Spencer” or “Orchid-flowered” 
Sweet Peas. 
The characteristics of the Spencer Sweet Peas, grown 
under congenial conditions are: robust growth, the 
plants attaining a height of from 6 to 10 feet, requiring 
for full development to be not less than 6 inches apart; 
a foot apart is better. The flowers are giants among 
Sweet Peas, measuring 2 to inches across. They are 
beautifully formed and daintily waved. Three and often 
four or five of these queenly blossoms are borne on long, 
strong stems.
