SWEET PEAS 
EARLY OR 
WINTER-FLOWERING 
The type used for winter bloom in the greenhouse. Sowings may be made as late as 
January or even early February for May and June bloom, though as it gets warmer they do 
not make the same vigorous, long-stemmed growth as in the winter. Sowing some of 
the late Spencers at the same time is a good idea.
