FLOWER SEEDS FOR FLORISTS 
/ / 
EARLY FLOWERING PEAS 
T HIS EARLY or winter flowering class is sown to advantage, in our latitude, up to February 15. 
This late sowing will usually make Easter, be in heavy for Mother’s Day and Memorial Day, and, 
unless much warm weather interferes, a late sowing will carry into June. Another sowing of 
the early class that we have worked out and find profitable is made outdoors about June 15-20. This 
is made under the protection of aster cloth, though next season we shall use our cold or sash houses 
for this purpose. This sowing gets into full crop with us late in August and produces heavily until 
cut dow by frost. Strong weekly spraying, especially this outdoor crop, we find necessary to hold 
down aphis, that otherwise would quickly destroy them in high temperatures. 
We have been specializing in early peas for the past 25 years, and our experience is at your service. We annually 
test the commercial value of new varieties from all responsible sources, and only such as have florist value will 
be found in our list.
