PEAS 
THE “DUPLEX" SWEET PEAS 
This new “Duplex” type, evolved from the modern race of Spencer Sweet Peas, 
produces flowers that under favorable conditions have double or triple standards! 
The coloring is thereby greatly intensified and the flowers are particularly effective 
and filling in bouquets, vases, etc. These queenly blossoms—borne in threes and fours 
on long stems — sometimes all come doubled but usually only two or three, the others 
being single but all are of the largest size and beautifully waved. The doubling of 
flowers in many cases is a development resulting from exuberantly healthy plants 
grown in inviting environment. “Duplex” Sweet Peas may therefore, under uncon¬ 
genial conditions, produce but few if any doubled flowers but a compensating wealth 
of typical single blossoms may be enjoyed. Some ultra-assthetic Sweet Pea enthu¬ 
siasts criticise the doubled standard Sweet Peas as being of doubtful improvement 
so time alone will prove whether they win popular approval. ( See cut.) 
The number of seeds in a packet will vary according to the scarcity 
of the variety—from 6 to 25 seeds, but sufficient for trial.
