Early or Winter-flowering Spencer 

 Sweet Peas 



A comparatively new development in Sweet Peas. The 

 Winter-flowering Spencers are now grown almost exclusively 

 for winter bloom and are in great demand by florists. They 

 are equally desirable however, for outdoor planting as they 

 come into bloom two to three weeks ahead of the standard 

 Spencer varieties and, if kept cut, will continue to bloom 



nearly as long.
