^^Flower Seeds for Florists” 
EARLY or WINTER PEAS (350 Seeds Per Ounce) 
All our Sweet Pea seed, is treated with Cuprocide (Red Copper 
Oxide) unless otherwise requested. 
A sowing of this early flowering class during January will get 
into a nice crop hy Mother’s Day. They will not produce such 
long stemmed flowers as an earlier sowing; neither will they re¬ 
quire so much headroom, 4 to 5 feet being usually ample. 
AN EARLY FALL CROP can be had hy sowing the early or 
winter class about June 15. They can he sown either outdoors 
under the summer protection of a cloth house or indoors.
