SPRING FLOWERING (Cuthbertson) 
SWEET PEAS 
Unexcelled for spring forcing and outdoor culture 
The spring-flowering types give a much heavier crop of longer stemmed 
flowers than the standard early-flowering types but come into bloom a 
little later. Seed should not be sown before October in the greenhouse 
for flowering during March, April and early May. Sown early outdoors 
they are superior to, and come into flower earlier than, the standard sum- 
mer flowering varieties.
