Spring Flowering Sweet Peas 
We offer three colors, each of which received an award 
in the All-America Selections for 1940: 
3470 Blue Clear marine blue; free bloomer. 
3479 Lavender Lovely soft shade of lavender. 
3447 Rose Pink Beautiful rose-pink on white.

: Oz. 30¢; 4 ozs. $1.05; Ib. $3.50. 
Come into bloom outdoors between the Early and 
Giant Spencer classes. Plants are quite vigorous and 
what the flowers lack in size is made up by the heavy 
cropof blooms produced. Vines seem more heat resistant 
than other Sweet Peas. Under glass they are unusually 
free flowering and prolong the spring cutting season.
