Use Twix for Tying Sweet Peas 
GIANT SPENCER SWEET PEAS 
Sweet Peas are and always have been one of our floral specialties. As climbing vines 
for trellises, or as an individual row across the garden, they make a wonderful showing. 
Every year our lists of varieties are revised to include the best type of each color, newer 
varieties supplanting those of less merit. 
The following selection comprises the most popular varieties in their respective colors:
