Excerpt from Florists' Review, 
Issue of April 8, 1937: 
PRIZE WINNING EARLY-FLOWERING 
SWEET PEA 
"Exhibited by the Ferry-Morse Seed 
Co., San Francisco, Cal., at the recent 
International Flower Show in New 
York, the early-flowering sweet pea 
novelty, Early Daphne, shown here, 
was awarded a silver medal. This new 
sweet pea is a soft salmon pink on a 
cream ground. The flowers are of 
great size, with beautifully expanded 
and waved standards. Many of the 
blooms are duplex and borne on long 
and stout stems. No seeds of this nov¬ 
elty are available now, but a supply is 
expected from the crop now growing, 
which should be harvested in July of 
this year."
