New Giant Flowering Spencer Sweet Peas 
BLOOM 4 WEEKS EARLIER THAN THE LATE SPENCERS, AND UNDER CONGENIAL 
CONDITIONS FLOWER CONTINUOUSLY FOR 4 MONTHS, i PRODUCING PROFUSELY, 
IMMENSE, WAVED FLOWERS. “FOURS” PREDOMINATING ON LONG STEMS. 
May Supersede All Other Types of Sweet Peas for Open Ground Culture in Warm Climates 
We Can Offer the Seeds Only in Limited Quantities to Enable Our Customers to Try Them 
US? 3 * And Shall Be Glad to Receive Reports of Results 
W e are glad at last to be able to offer a limited quantity of seeds of this 
revolutionary race of “Giant Early Flowering Spencer Sweet Peas” which 
has been developing for several years from “Spencer” crosses with the early 
flowering grandifloras which were evolved from the old Blanche Ferry and 
Emily Henderson types whose blood is responsible for all of the best Early 
Flowering Sweet Peas. The plants of this new race are of strong constitu¬ 
tion. vigorous growers, profuse and continuous bloomers for about four 
months, grown under congenial conditions and they begin flowering, grown 
in the open ground, in about 106 days from seed sowing or fully four weeks 
sooner than late flowering Sweet Peas sown at the same time, and they con¬ 
tinue to flower in profusion for fully four months and in favored localities 
even longer. It is predicted by Sweet Pea authorities that this race will 
supplant all other early and late flowering Sweet Peas for winter flowering 
under glass, which has now become so popular—and also for open ground 
culture in our Southern States. Their adaptability to warm climates— 
where cool-weather-loving sweet peas do not thrive—has been proven and 
it is possible that they will eventually supplant the latter in American 
gardens where climatic conditions are not always favorable to the best 
developments of the older types of Sweet Peas. Practically all Sweet Pea 
Colors are now in existence.in this new race. 
New Early Flowering Spencer Sweet Pea 
“YARRAWA” 
This new comer from Australia has proven its adaptability to American 
conditions, growing as luxuriantly and producing its long stemmed, giant 
waved flowers as quickly and in the same continuous profusion as if growing 
in the warm climate of the Antipodes. In our trials, it commenced flowering 
freely two weeks before other large waved Sweet Peas and three to four weeks 
earlier than some varieties, all given the same cultural treatment and 
Yarrawa continued in flower, holding its large size and phenomenal
