SWEET PEAS There is no annual grown that is more popular. Inex- pensive, easily and quickly grown from seed, thriving on a city lot or in the country garden, supplying a wealth ot flowers for months to adorn the home garden or corsage; is it any wonder that they are favorites? .\Iuch improvement has been made by specialists in Sweet Pea development. About ten years ago the first of a new type appeared. The new comer produced the largest flowers theretofore seen. They were pink, beautiful and handsome in form. The new Sweet Pea was called Countess Spencer, and it is from that now well-known sort that the Giant Orchid-Flowering or Spencer Sweet Peas have been ob- tained. Sweet Pea seed should be sown plentifully, as early as possible. They are usually grown in double rows with a wire trellis or a row of bush between. jMake the drills about 6 inches deep and nine or ten iirches apart. Change the loca- tion of the rows each season. At the time of planting, cover with one inch of soil onlj% and fill in the drill as the young plants grow, taking care not to cover the top of the plants. A deep soil enriched by bone meal and a sunny situation is best suited for their needs. TYPE OF SPENCER SWEET PEAS Named Spencer Sweet Peas All admirers of Sweet Peas should be interested in this splendid collection of Spencer varieties which we list under color selection. Their grand flowers with their charmingly waved petals are borne in clusters of three or four.' and sometimes more, on one stem and make grand cut flowers for vases, etc. Their delicate coloring and fragrance cannot be excelled and scarcely equaled by any other flower. 3922 3923 3928 3933 3939 3944 3945 3946. 3962 3963 Named Spencers—Continued America.
