EARLY OR WINTER-FLOWERING 

 SPENCER SWEET PEAS 



Early or Winter-flowering Spencers are now grown large- 

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

 They are equally desirable however, for outdoor planting as 

 they come into bloom two or three weeks ahead of the 

 standard Spencer varieties and, if kept cut, will continue 

 to Moom nearly as long.
