Up / Sweet Pea evolution has resulted in the creation of a glorified race, “The Spencers,” so surpassingly superior that older types are 
/ destined to be superseded as rapidly as corresponding colors among the Spencers can be trued up and sufficient seed produced. 
/ The characteristics of the Spencer Sweet Peas, grown under congenial conditions are: robust growth, the plants attaining a height of \ V 
W / from 6 to 10 feet, requiring for full development to be a foot apart. The flowers are giants among Sweet Peas, measuring 2 to 2 X A inches \ ^ 
1 / across. They are beautifully formed with huge standards, open and upright and immense wings gracefully poised. Both standards and wings \ y 
/ are daintily waved, the undulations reflecting high lights and casting shadows in the depths, thus showing a varied harmony of tones which greatly \ 
/ enhances the coloring. Three and often four of these queenly blossoms are borne on long, strong stems, rendering them unsurpassable as cut flowers \ 
I for vases, bouquets and other decorations. Their long continued profusion of bloom is phenomenal, but accounted for by the fact that a majority of ' 
the flowers of true Spencers fall as they fade—before the seed pod is formed—thus continuing the succession of bloom— for as all know when Sweet 
Peas set pods, the flowering diminishes. 
When visiting the English home of origin of Spencer Sweet Peas last season we discovered that we were also on home soil of the Washingtons. The 
coincidence was so striking that we tarried a day or two longer, collecting information and getting photographs amid scenes and environment of the 
fore-fathers of America’s father. These we will publish as “pot-pourri” in a little booklet which will be mailed free to interested purchasers of our two 
Washington Sweet Peas. 
HENDERSON'S ■ 
GREAT AND GRAND NEW SWEET PEA 
GEORGE WASHINGTON 
This glorious crimson-scarlet self we believe surpasses all the World’s 
Sweet Peas of similar coloring in size of flower, form, substance and in bril¬ 
liant purity, untarnished by burn or scald, though grown unshaded under 
most trying sun. The flowers of gigantic size are true Spencers, having 
round, open standards pleasingly undulated from throat to border. The 
waved wings also are of huge size and gracefully poised over the keel, 
almost hiding it from view. 
These gorgeous blossoms are borne usually in fours, but sometimes in 
threes, on strong stems 10 to 12 inches in length. The plants of exuber¬ 
ant, healthy growth display such a continued profusion of bloom they 
appear for weeks as if mantled in richest scarlet. 
Nearly 40 years ago we offered the first red Sweet Pea “ Scarlet 
Invincible” and very popular it became, but progressive evolution 
brought forth better and yet better varieties of similar color which 
we have offered in turn as one supplanted another. At the present 
time, in the Sweet Pea World, among the new race of Giant Spen¬ 
cers there are several rival aspirants awaiting the honor of being 
acknowledged — best—in the crimson-scarlet group. We have 
grown or seen these and most are good, but better under 
British conditions than in our climate. We therefore re¬ 
iterate, Henderson’s Great and Grand new Sweet Pea — 
George Washington—surpasses all, particularly under 
American conditions.

GREAT AND GRAND NEW SWEET PEA 
MARTHA WASHINGTON 
A radiantly beautiful new Spencer Sweet Pea, most daintily colored 
pearl-white from throat to center, then appears a veiled flush of pink 
deepening in intensity as it merges into the marginal zone of soft 
tyrian-rose. The standard and wings are adorned alike, front and back 
being tinted and colored just the same, a remarkable and pleasing char¬ 
acteristic, thus the flowers present the same exquisite color effect which 
ever way they face, in vase, bouquet or on the plant. 
The flowers of lasting substance are perfection in form and of the 
largest size, standards upright, open, well rounded out and beauti¬ 
fully waved. The wings are also very large, gracefully waved and 
poised almost enclosing the keel. Usually four of these peerless 
blossoms are carried, well arranged on long strong stems. They 
vase charmingly and where shown have elicited enthusiastic en¬ 
comiums. 
The plants are luxuriant, healthy growers, blooming long and 
in prodigal profusion, producing more four-flowered stems than 
any Sweet Pea we know of. A group of plants in bloom is 
a picture decidedly decorative in any garden. Considering the 
many merits of Henderson’s Great and Grand new Sweet 
Pea—Martha Washington—we believe it to be the finest 
variety of the decade.
