S.N. & S. CO'S GIANT SPENCER SWEET PEAS 

EARLY FLOWERING VARIETIES 
Early Flowering Sweet Peas are particularly adapted to sections where the Summer flowering varie- 
ties have not proved satisfactory. They are now very popular and in great demand for early Spring 
blooming, for outdoor culture, coming into flower three weeks earlier than the regular Giant Spencer 
flowering varieties, and if the flowers are kept picked will continue to bloom over a long period. The 
flowers are large and are beautifully waved or frilled. We offer the following carefully selected varieties. 
1947 NEW NOVELTY SWEET PEA 
PATRICE MUNSEL—Named in honor of the brilliant young coloratura soprano, concert star and 
prima donna of the Metropolitan Opera. A lovely, distinct new shade called ‘flamingo - pink,” it is 
deep orange-salmon with a slight undertone of cerise. The standards are gracefully waved and 
many flowers are duplex. The flowers are unusually large, 2 to 2% inches across, in fours, on extra 
long, sturdy stems. The plants are vigorous and bloom profusely. “Patrice Munsel” is the most recent
