Early Flowering Sweet Peas 
These early flowering varieties were first 
brought out for the greenhouse trade. The 
colors are brighter than the ordinary Spen¬ 
cer varieties and they bloom fully three 
weeks earlier. Extensive experiments in 
Colorado have shown that they are perfect¬ 
ly adaptable to out-door culture. If you

you buy in flower stores, try some of these
