EARLY MIXED SWEET PEAS 
The past few years we have had a big call on early- 
flowering outdoor MIXTURE, especially from florists 
who sell seed as a side line to their clients. Our Mixture 
cannot be duplicated anywhere. We are using only the 
best of the largest varieties, and for the convenience of 
florists we are raising several kinds. 
ZVOLANEK’S GRAND MIXTURE —One row of this 
mixture is a revelation in a garden row. It consists 
of all the best colors properly graded and at least 
150 varieties, including many novelties never seen 
before. Any retail florist should have a quantity on 
hand to please their customers. 
LAVENDER MIXTURE —The best lavender and light 
blue. 
WHITE MIXTURE —White .and black seeded. 
PINK MIXTURE — All best pinks from lightest to 
darkest color. 
ORANGE AND SALMON MIXTURE— 
Price on any mixture: 1 oz. 40c; 8 oz. $1.50; 1 lb. $3.00 
Special Prices on 50-, 100- and 500-lb. Lots. 
We do not sell less than one ounce of each variety. If 
you wish to have more colors, better order any mixture. 
WARRANTY 
All varieties in this list are true and fixed as repre¬ 
sented. Should any mistake occur by us, we will return 
the full amount paid for the seed or replace the same, 
but we will not be responsible for a failure caused by cli¬ 
matic conditions or neglect of the grower. We are in¬ 
terested in your Sweet Peas, even after the seed has ger¬ 
minated, and any questions will be cheerfully answered. 
Most of the commercial varieties will be ready to ship 
early in June. Please send your order early. We are 
usually sold out early each year, and perhaps of such 
varieties as you may need. In case of shortage or fail¬ 
ure of crop we will take the liberty of substituting with 
the best and nearest color, as this list is made out just 
before the harvest, and we are not yet certain about the 
crop. If no substitute is wanted mark your order “No 
Substitute.” 
Dropping the Buds 
In the northern and eastern states, dropping off buds 
during November and December is common, but a great 
deal of this can be prevented. We all know that Sweet 
Peas like plenty of moisture to get long stems, but dur¬ 
ing the cloudy weather in November and December it is 
better to sacrifice the long stems for good flowers. As 
soon as the moist and cloudy weather the latter part of 
October sets in, keep the greenhouses dry as possible, 
even when the soil is dry three to four inches on the sur¬ 
face. Keep the ventilator open even during the night as 
much as possible and during frosty nights turn the heat¬ 
ing pipes on so there is plenty of dry air circulating. 
Should you find a few spots which need some water, 
water only between the rows in ditches and away from 
the plants, so they get the moisture from underneath. 
This will save you at least 50 percent of the flowers.
