LATE SWEET PEAS UNDER GLASS 
Sown about foot apart at the same time with Early Win¬ 
ter Flowering Peas, after Chrysanthemums, these Late Sweet 
Peas being of less rapid growth will not interfere with the 
growth of the Early kind, until the Early ones are almost 
exhausted. Then the robust growing Late, will overtake the 
played out Earlies and you will get a heavy crop of high class 
bloom in May and June. 
LATE SWEET PEAS will produce fine flowers when sown late in 
winter with spring not far off. Sown under glass in summer, will 
make lots of vines, but never a flower.
