ZVOLANEK'S 
Winter- Orchid - Flowering; Sweet Peas 
NOVELTIES FOR 1916-17 
Every variety below mentioned to be dissiminated 
now, was exhibiited by nearly every Flower Show in this 
country in the past three years; has been grown under 
test and recommended by such critical growers as 
Mr. Sim, Gude Brothers, Dale's Estate, Harvey and 
Sons, Cornell University, and many others, including 
State and Government Institutions. Every variety is 
a great improvemet over the existing sweet peas, and

Mrs. Chas. A. Zvolanek. Finest lavender. Opens dark 
lavender, but when full developed is the clearest 
lavender; the same color as Lav. Nora, but of 
largest size and beautiful wavy shape. 
Rev. Father N. C. Raley. Lavender lilac. This is near- 
ly duplicated in color as the late Spencer Asta Ohn. 
Zvolanek's Blue. One of the finest bright blues, the 
same color as the Grandiflora Blue Jay, very 
large wavy flower, usually blooming one week 
earlier than any Orchid Sweet Peas. 
Mrs. A. Tjelunaiin. Light blue. It is the same size, 
color and shape as the late Flora Norton Spencer. 
Zvolanek's Red. This is the largest flower in all the 
winter sweet peas. Extremely long stems; color 
of the brightest dark red with orange shine. Very

King Edward Spencer, but more fiery in color. 
Zvolanek's Britania. Scarlet crimson, very early flow- 
ering of medium hights, the vines covered with 
largest flowers all winter. 
Miss Louise Gude. Finest clear pink. It is two shades 
darker, larger, and a stronger grower than the well 
known Mrs. A. A. Skach. 
Black Lady. Dark maroon of the. 'argest size.

outclass any older introduction in their color, and I
