SPENCER OR ORCHID-FLOWERED SWEET PEAS 
In exquisite form and range of beautiful colors there are no other flowers to compare with Sweet Peas. New, more beautiful varieties are 
being constantly introduced. We offer the cream of the Spencer sorts that have been tested and found to be of true merit and distinct color; 
every color and shade is represented in the list below. 
Make a trench 6 inches deep; in this sow the seed and cover 2 inches. As vines grow, gradually fill trench with soil, and thin to 4 inches 
apart. For early flowers sow in beginning of November in a dry situation, 6 or 8 inches deep, giving level culture. Make spring sowings 
just as soon as ground can be prepared. Sweet Peas should not be grown in same soil year after year.
