GIANT SPENCER 
SWEET PEAS 
CULTURE OF SWEET PEAS 
Sow as early in the spring as the ground can be prepared in 
rich, deeply worked soil with good drainage. Cover the seeds 
about 2 inches deep with fine soil and supply support to the 
growing vines before they grow too large. Keep well watered 
during dry periods. One ounce of seed will plant a row about 
15 feet long. 
: BLUE 
Chinese Blue. By far the best of the rich blue shades—a clear, 
pure color. 
Reflection. Clear cornflower blue. Unusually vigorous, extra 
long stemmed. Flowers of splendid substance and beautifully 
waved. Today’s most popular and best clear blue. 
CERISE 
Grand Slam. Bright scarlet cerise. 
Mrs. A. Searles. Salmon-cerise, emerging into a soft oriental- 
red. A remarkable and distinct color. 
CREAM 
Grand National. Considered the best of its color. An improved 
cream. 
What Joy. Primrose, shading to cream. A charming tone and 
so far the nearest approach to a true yellow. 
CRIMSON 
Red Boy. The very best crimson. It is a first class sweet pea 
for all purposes, especially for general garden culture. 
Rubicund. Crimson scarlet. 
IVORY 
Sunkist. Cream picotee edged rose. 
LAVENDER 
Ambition. Rich deep lavender, with a darker shade on the 
base of the standard and wings when young, lessening as the 
bloom ages. Gold medal and Award of Merit, National Sweet 
Pea Society Trials. 
Powerscourt. A clear pure lavender. Has been considered the 
best lavender for a number of years. 
MAROON 
Warrior. Rich chocolate maroon. A magnificent variety which 
has held its place and popularity for a number of years. 
MAUVE 
Chieftain. Satiny mauve. Best of its color. 
ORANGE 
Pirate Gold. Golden orange, deeper than Guinea Gold and 
brighter than Prince of Orange. It withstands hot sun. 
Prince of Orange. Brilliant orange. Unsurpassed in this color 
class for vigor, size of flower and long stems. Gorgeous under 
artificial light. 
PINK 
Pinkie. Rose-pink with large and frilled flowers. This variety 
is seldom affected by weather conditions and first class blooms 
can be cut all during its long blooming period. 
Floradale. A most artistic flower of rich salmon-pink on cream 
ground. It received the Award of Merit of the National Sweet 
Pea Society of Great Britain. 
Mayfair. The best, largest and richest colored shell-pink on 
white ground. Very sweetly scented. Award of Merit, Na- 
uonal Sweet Pea Society Trials. 
Jack Hobbs. Cream-pink, flushed scarlet. One of the largest 
Sweet Peas ever introduced. Gold Medal. Award of Merit, 
National Sweet Pea Society Trials. 
Miss California. This beautiful Sweet Pea is unsurpassed for 
either exhibition or general cutting purposes. The color is a 
most distinct and beautiful shade of rich pink, deeply flushed 
and shaded with salmon. 
Mary Pickford. A beautiful dainty, cream pink with just the 
faintest suffusion of salmon, making a color combination of 
delightful beauty. Flowers large, decidedly waved on long 
stems. A novelty of real merit.
