FLOWER SEEDS FOR FLORISTS

EARLY or WINTER SWEET PEAS 
D O NOT overlook the fact that the early class can be sown to advantage in our latitude up to February 
15th. Late sowings should be spaced closer, two or three rows together in place of one or two as for the 
earlier sowings. This for the reason that the growth hasn't time to become so heavy or make more than 4 
to 6 ft. of height. A January or early February sowing will usually make Easter and be in fine shape for Mother's 
Day. The value of planting a few late flowering kind with this late sowing of Earlies should not be missed, for 
they will double the crop and carry it well into June, when worth-while Peas are usually scarce. And here is 
another good use for the early class. If sown outdoors under the protection of cloth, around June 10th in our 
latitude, they can be had in full crop from September until cut down by frost. This crop gets up 5 to 6 feet 
and we support it as we do under glass. Regular spraying to keep down aphis is very important with this sow¬ 
ing, also watering. 
We have been specializing in early Peas under glass for over 25 years. Our experience is at your service. 
We are not only interested in improving varieties, but annually test the new ones of all responsible growers 
Only such as have florists' value find their way on our list.
