Sweet Peas 
Annual 
Sweet Peas bloom best in an open, sunny 
situation. Keeping the flowers picked as 
fast as they open prolongs the period of 
bloom. The old-fashioned or Grandiflora 
type of Sweet Peas are hardy and very florif- 
erous and the flowers are heavily scented, 
although of only medium size and rather stiff 
in form. The new Spencer or Waved Sweet 
Peas are much larger and finer in form as well 
as colors, but not quite so free-blooming. 
Plant as early as the ground can be worked, 
in deeply prepared rich soil. Never allow 
the soil to dry out after the plants appear. 
Summer-flowering Spencers 
Distinguished by giant size, often measur- 
ing 2 inches in diameter, and by beautifully 
waved petals. Hundreds of varieties are 
known to specialists and new sorts are being 
constantly produced by English and Ameri- 
can breeders, but we believe that the varieties 
we offer comprise the best and most satis- 
factory of the new as well as old, in all of the 
favorite colors.
