"FLOWER SEEDS 
FOR FLORISTS" 
EARLY or WINTER SWEET PEAS 
Sow during January 
and February 
D O NOT overlook the fact that the early class can be sown to advan¬ 
tage in our latitude up to February 15th and later. 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 four to six feet of 
height. A January or early February sowing will usually make Easter 
and be in fine shape for Mother's Day. Such a late planting will, of 
course, not be so long-stemmed as an earlier one, for the reason that 
it is forced into flower by spring weather before it develops a strong 
growth. The value of planting a few late flowering kinds 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 1st 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 highly important with this sowing, 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 im¬ 
proving varieties, but annually test the new ones of all responsible 
growers. Only such as have practical florists' value find their way on 
our list. 
Starred (*) varieties are our choice of the best standard cut flower 
kind for florists.
