This new class of early-flowering Spencer Sweet Peas 
are very popular with florists for greenhouse culture. 
They are particularly adapted to the Southern States, 
where, if sown in the Fall or early Winter months, 
will bloom three months from time of planting and will 
continue to flower until killed by the extreme heat. 
The flowers are of fine size on long stems. Grown in 
the open ground, they begin flowering fully four weeks 
sooner than the Summer-flowering Sweet Peas sown at 
same time.
