EARLY FLOWERING SPENCER 



This group of Sweet Peas deserves more attention from home 

 gardeners who may have been disappointed in growing the later 

 varieties.; They come into bloom from three to four weeks 

 earlier, and for that reason they should be well in flower before 

 the summer droughts arrive. In addition to this, the vines have 

 a long blooming season, and where nights are cool they will 

 continue to bear for months. They are less branching than 

 those of the late Spencers, but the blossoms are equally large, 

 beautifully waved, and are carried on long stems. They are 

 ideal for late fall plahting and where the winters are mild, as 

 in our Gulf States, those bordering on the Rio Grande, and in 

 CaHfomia they are used in large quantities at that season of 

 the year. 



The Early Flowering Spencer has also earned marked recog- 

 nition from a great many commercial growers for forcing under
