EARLY-FLOWERING SPENCER 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.
