"FLOWER SEEDS FOR FLORISTS" 
LATE or SUMMER SWEET PEAS 
T HIS late flowering or original class can be grown out¬ 
doors with profit in nearly every section of America 
if —- 
Sown Early, Watered Thoroughly 
When Dry and Kept Free of Aphis. 
These are fundamental and necessary requirements. 
In our latitude the heat of mid-July usually finishes 
them. We then sow the space in Zinnias. We get a 
profitable crop of these Peas by sowing early in January. 
After they are up we carry along cold, potting them early 
in March and planting out after hard frosts are over. 
We begin picking June 5-15, according to the season 
and we seldom fail to make a profit on them. Sowing 
outdoors in the fall is next best plan, and works well 
especially further south than our latitude. Also we have 
noted good results in this latitude from sowing outdoors 
early as possible. When provided with supports they will 
produce more flowers and growth but we have seen them 
producing freely, with straight stems, unsupported, just 
letting them sprawl over the ground. Another quite 
profitable use for the late class is to sow them with the 
early kind. This should only be done with the Earlies 
started later. Plant Late seedlings about 8 inches apart 
in the Early row. The Lates will not climb up with the 
Earlies, but will break out freely and not start climbing 
up until the Earlies begin to weaken after which the Late 
growth will gradually overwhelm the passing Earlies and 
produce a heavy crop of flowers during late May and 
early June when Peas are usually scarce and wanted. 
This plan will not work in Florida or where real warm 
weather sets in after the Earlies are finished, neither will 
it do in Canada or any section where absence of high 
temperature permits late sown early kinds to hold up in 
good shape well through June. 
Some Choice New English Varieties 
As a rule cut flower growers should stay close to three 
or four strong standard colors. But variety is valuable. 
We have selected five recently introduced English va¬ 
rieties that we know will be found choice if at all well 
grown. 
Springtime. Silvery white, suffused rose. Very attractive 
cut flower color combination. 
Loveliness. Rich rose-pink on cream. Extra large and 
choice for cutting. 
Mavis. Rich salmon-cerise with orange shading, partly 
duplexed and sunproof. 
Fiancee. Soft salmon-pink on white. A choice cut flower 
combination. 
If started early, kept free of green-fly, and watered as needed, we have found 
the late class a profitable crop nearly every season for the past 25 years. 
Chinese Blue. A solid bright blue; the brightest and, we believe, the 
best blue variety. 
Headlight. Scarlet shaded deep cerise and orange. Sunproof and highly 
attractive. 
Price of any: Vz oz., 25c; 1 oz., 40c; 4 ozs., $1.25; 1 lb., $4.00.
