MARSHALL'S MATCHLESS FLOWER SEEDS 
[34] 
W. E. MARSHALL & CO. 
Marshall’s Spencer Sweet Peas 
Sow as soon as the ground can be 
worked in the Spring in trenches at 
least 6 inches in depth, then as the plants 
grow, fill in the soil about 1 inch at a 
time until the trenches are full, taking 
care not to cover the young plants. 
Liquid manure applied occasionally 
will be found very beneficial. 
Keep well watered during dry periods 
and spray periodically to prevent injury 
from green fly or aphis. 
In view of the numerous Sweet Pea 
introductions this list has been again 
revised and includes those varieties which 
trials have proved to be the best in the 
various colors.

Marshall’s 
Early Flower Spencer 
Sweet Peas 
The Early Flowering Spencers bloom 
about two weeks earlier than the Late Flow¬ 
ering varieties when grown under congenial 
conditions. The flowers are beautifully waved 
and produced on long stems, four flowers pre¬ 
dominating on each stem. For Winter flow¬ 
ering under glass or in the Southern States 
they far surpass the Late Spencers. When 
grown in the open ground they will usually 
bloom in about 100 days after planting.
