‘^FLOWER SEEDS FOR FLORl 
EARLY or WINTER PEAS 
A Jan. or Feb. planting of this class in the greenhouse will flower 
in the spring. 
Don’t overlook the value of the early class for this late planting. They 
will, of course, not be so long-stemmed or get so tall as the earlier start, 
for they will not have time to get so deeply rooted; but they will flower 
freely. Also it is a good plan to plant some Lates with them for a follow 
up crop that will carry well into June in our latitude. 
We have been specializing in Winter Peas since the introduction of the 
Early class 31 years ago. During these years we have originated many new 
varieties, and we shall continue interested in this work. Because of outstand¬ 
ing improvements in recent years. Winter Peas are becoming increasingly popular. In connection with our growing 
of Peas we annually try out new varieties from all responsible raisers. All of real commercial value, of course, 
get into our list. Others are forgotten. Our long experience as growers of this crop might enable us to be of some 
service with your growing problems. We call special attention to our list of “12 Best Varieties.” Necessarily if 
such a list is impartial, it contains both new and standard kinds. In making it up we are guided not only by our ex¬ 
perience with them but by the demand from other growers as well.
