SWEET PEAS GIANT SPENCER 
Too many varieties of Sweet Peas. It has always been a puzzling question to small growers, who, desiring 
to grow only a limited number of sorts, with as great an assortment as possible, are sometimes rather disap¬ 
pointed because some of the varieties are so nearly alike. 
It will be realized that exhibitors and other keen growers are influenced by delicate shadings of color, by 
difference in form, by the way the blooms are placed on the stem, and so forth. We, therefore, keep a suffi¬ 
ciently wide range of varieties to suit these tastes, although, to the casual eye many of them are very much 
alike. We have made up our list of varieties, which, we believe, will answer all purposes. 
Culture—Early planting is advised so that they may bloom before very hot weather. Dig the soil deeply to 
allow deep rooting. Open a trench four to six inches deep, in which plant the seeds early in February and cover 
with an inch of soil and press it firmly. When up about two inches begin cultivating and gradually fill the 
trench until it is level. Do not allow the roots to become too dry; water at least twice a week. Be sure to 
gather the blooms, otherwise the vines will stop flowering. 
Fall Planting—Sweet peas may also be started in October, November and December, planting four to six 
inches deep; give them slight protection and they will become well rooted and grow off at the first opening of 
spring and produce an abundance of blooms earlier and for a longer season than spring plantings. 
Gather sweet pea blooms frequently; the more you cut them the better and longer they bloom.

MIXTURES OF SWEET PEAS 
Most people obtain more satisfaction from planting 
Sweet Peas in mixture than from growing named 
sorts, but to be successful it is necessary that the seed 
be of the best quality obtainable. Often what is 
offered as mixed seed is stock harvested from plants 
that have come up as volunteers on ground where 
Sweet Peas have been grown before, or a lot of Beed 
which has been grown, saved or handled so carelessly 
that it cannot be sold as any distinct variety. The use 
of such seeds will not give satisfactory results. We 
assure our customers the Mixtures of Sweet Peas 
which we offer are the results of as great care in 
selecting as any stocks we grow and as fine flowers 
are obtained from them as from any seed that can be 
bought. Price per pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; 2 oz. 25c; 4 oz. 
50c, postpaid. 
A special garden size for peas, 
beans and sweet peas will insure 
you large, luscious peas and 
beans, and abundant sweet pea 
blossoms for gorgeous coloring.
