THE VERY BEST OF THE 
The list of Sweet Peas offered on these pages has been compiled so as to include the finest and most distinct 
rarieties in existence. The list constitutes in reality, an International Roll of Honor among Sweet Peas. 
Each variety listed, so far as we can ascertain, is the proven best in its color class, therefore “Old Favorites" 
missing from the list have been replaced by superior sorts. 
The Sweet Pea is happiest when the nights are cool and the days moderately warm. 
The Orange, and the Salmon shades, and some of the Reds will tip burn unless they are favored by planting 
at the cooler and protected end of the Sweet Pea row. 
The tardy Sweet Pea enthusiast may make up for lost time by sowing the Early Flowering Spencers—they 
bloom a month to six weeks earlier than other sorts. 
90% of Sweet Pea failures at seeding, are due to wet, cold soil, or excesses of moisture before germination. 
The other 10% failures are probably due to Slugs, Snails, and Birds. 
The period of outdoor care may be reduced to a minimum by using our “Sweet Pea Raisers”—made of tough, 
moisture-resistance paper. This speeds up germination and early development of the plant, indoors.
