Michell’s Early or Winter-Flowering 
Spencer Sweet Peas

blooming, they are also valuable for outdoor culture, coming into bloom five to stx weeks 
earlier than the regular Spencer or Orchid-flowering type, and if the flowers are kept cut, 
they will bloom for a Iong time. 
NOVELTIES OF RECENT INTRODUCTION
