SWEET PEAS 
EARLY OR WINTER FLOWERING 
Our Early Flowering Sweet Peas are especially grown for culture under glass. 
All of the newer varieties are very strong growers and will produce heavy stems with four and five flowers 
on each. Early Spencer Sweet Peas are also adapted for winter flowering in the open, when planted in the milder 
latitudes.
