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.

Sweet William (Dianthus Barbatus) HB 



These favorite "old-fashioned garden" flowers are too well known 

 to need any description. The seed is usually sown in July or August 

 and the seedling plants transplanted in September to the beds or 

 borders where they are to bloom the following season. It may also 

 be sown in early spring, in which case the plants will not come into 

 full bloom until the second season. Sweet William does best in a 

 fairly rich soil and in a sunny location.
