LATHYRUS Latifolius 
(Perennial Pea) 
Early Flowering 
Long Season Spencers 
Practically the same as the Summer Flowering Spencers ex- 
■ oept that they bloom 3 to 5 weeks earlier. If you cut the blos- 
) soms and don’t allow them to go to seed they will often bloom 
until frost. In the hotter valleys, where Sweet Peas are often 
■ a failure, the Early Flowering Spencers will usually be in full 
bloom before any hot weather comes. 
1265 Pink—Shirley Temple. A cross between the Giant Flow¬ 
ered Pinkie and an early flowering type, Shirley Temple re¬ 
tains the richness of coloring of Pinkie, even softer and 
more beautiful, and attains a greater size than was found 
before in either type. Four very large, daintily frilled and 
fluted flowers to a stem. So charming and dainty that per¬ 
mission was asked to name this sweet pea for the lovely lit¬ 
tle screen favorite, Shirley, of whom it is really worthy.
