SPRING FLOWERING PEAS 
Spring Flowering Rose-Pink. Background sown mid- 
Sept. in pots; foreground sown a month later direct. 
h 
A new class that has been on trial with us for several years. For spring flower¬ 
ing, we find this class produces from 15-20% more flowers than will the regular 
winter flowering kind under the same conditions. Reason for this is their 
stronger growth, which is their distinguishing character. This growth is mid¬ 
way between the winter and the summer kinds, and is too strong to form or 
hold buds under midwinter conditions of the Central States. For this reason 
they should not be sown during July or August. We find an October 1 sowing 
will start flowering late in March or as early as when started a month earlier; 
and because of their strong growth they will, of course, hold out longer. Be¬ 
cause of this growth, they are sown to advantage in the Central States as late 
as January or February. We strongly recommend at least a trial of this new 
class. We also believe they have possibilities for outdoor use. Three good com¬ 
mercial colors are available this year: ROSE PINK, about the shade of Giant 
Rose; LAVENDER, a light even shade with little shading; and a fairly dark 
shade of BLUE with extra heavy long stems. 
The three varieties or coloss—each: 1/2 oz., 75c; 1 oz., $1.40; 4 ozs., $5.50. 
LATE OR SUMMER PEAS 
(350 Seeds Per Ounce) 
Fall sowing of this class as far north as Philadelphia and St. Louis is usually 
safely done. We have successfully made such sowings in our latitude. Length 
and extent of freezing isn't so bad as much alternate freezing and thawing. In 
any case, sowing should be done just before the ground freezes. If too early, 
they will, of course, come thru and freeze out. In the latitude of Nashville, 
Tenn., they frequently winter over after they get thru and become well established. 
This can be done in the near south if some attention is paid to covering them 
during severe cold. Advantage of the early start is that flowers are had before 
very warm weather destroys them. We have found them a profitable outdoor 
crop for years by sowing late January, growing in pots, and planting out around 
mid-April. This planting comes in heavy crop about mid-June. This class is 
also planted to advantage with late planted Earlies. They will flower heavily 
after the Earlies become exhausted.
