Spring Flowering Sweet Peas 
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 
crop of blooms produced. Vines seem more heat resistant 
than other Sweet Peas. Under glass they are unusually 
free flowering and prolong the spring cutting season.

in the All-America Selections for 1940: 
3470 Blue Clear marine blue; free bloomer.
