Spring-Flowering PEAS 
(350 seeds per ounce.) 
A new class that has been on trial with us for several years. 
For spring flowering, we find this class produces from 15 to 
20 per cent 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 midway between the winter and the summer kinds, 
and is too strong to form or hold buds under midwinter con¬ 
ditions of the Central States. For this reason they should not 
he sown during July or August. We find an October 1st 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. Because 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 commercial colors are available this year. 
Rose-Pink. About the shade of Giant Rose. 
Lavender. A lightl even shade with little shading. 
Blue. A fairly dark shade of blue with extra long stems. 
Mixture of above three colors. The three varieties or colors and
