SWEET PEAS 
Early-Flowering Orchid or Spencer 
This new type is receiving great attention at the hands of the 
leading hybridizers, and already nearly all colors are represented. 
They are now very popular, and in great demand by commerc ial 
florists for forcing under glass for Winter and early Spring blooming, 
but are just as valuable for the amateur for outdoor culture, especially / 
in the southern states, coming into flower five or six weeks earlier than f 
the regular orchid-flowered type, and if the flowers are kept picked, / 
continue to bloom over a period of nearly four months.
