EARLY OR WINTER 
January or February sowing 
flowers in spring. 
(350 seeds per ounce) 
Don’t overlook the value of this class for sowing late as Feb. 15th. 
This late sowing will, of course, not become strong enough to produce 
a heavy growth of very long stems. They will get into a nice crop for 
Mother’s Day. Also, they should be planted closer; instead of the 
double rows we use in the earlier planting, we put three rows together 
for this late start. They require but about 4 to 5 ft. headroom. The 
Late class should be planted with this late planting of Earlies as suggested on the opposite page. Also, if used for outdoors they flower 
quite early, but their weaker growth makes them short lived, except where spring and early summer are cooler than with us. Another 
valuable use for the Earlies, we find, is to sow them out in a cloth house about June 1st. If watered and kept clean of aphis, this sowing 
will get into a heavy crop about Sept. 1st and continue until cut down by frost. This cloth house crop gets up 5 to 6 ft. with us and should 
be supported accordingly. 
We have been specializing in Sweet Peas since the introduction of the Early class just 30 years ago. We have developed many 
new varieties, and we continue interested in this work, as well as testing in our greenhouses new kinds of all responsible raisers. 
Furthermore, our greenhouse experience as market growers of Sweet Peas gives us valuable information on varieties and culture that 
we gladly pass on to you. 
PLEASE NOTE: All our Sweet Pea seed, Early and Late, is treated with Cuprocide or Red Copper Oxide, unless otherwise requested.
