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 llorists. 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. Pkt. Moz. Oz.

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

 and the seedling plants transplanted in September to the beds or

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

 fairly rich soil and in a sunny location.
