Wood's Giant Flowering Sweet Peas

CULTURE.—Early planting is advised so that they may bloom before very hot weather. Dig the soil deeply to allow 
deep rooting. Open a trench 4 to 6 inches deep, in which plant the seeds early in February and cover with an inch of 
soil and press it firmly. When up about 2 inches begin cultivating and gradually fill the trench until it is level. Do 
not allow the roots to become too dry; water at least twice a week.

Early Flowering Spencer 
Sweet Peas 
These bloom weeks earlier and remain in bloom longer than 
other Spencers. The blooms are equally as large, are beautifully 
waved and are borne on long stems. They are especially well 
adapted for outdoor planting in the South as well as for green- 
house culture. We have had spring plantings bloom earlier than 
fall plantings of other kinds, yielding plenty of blooms before 
hot weather arrives.
