A WORD TO OUR GROWER FRIENDS 
Looking over our files on our Tenth Anniversary we 
are happy to see hundreds of cur first customers ordering 
our seeds year after year. We are proud of the fact that 
our seeds are giving such satisfaction and it also pleases 
us to know by the many letters we receive unsolicited 
what growers think of our varieties. 
GROWERS THERE IS A REASON. Good seed, 
excellent varieties, and prompt attention to orders. Still 
we are not satisfied and are striving for still better 
varieties. Each year we are introducing better varieties 
which we must make room for in our price list as the 
older varieties are replaced by better ones. Today we are 
safe in saying that our varieties of Early Flowering 
Sweet Peas are the best in the world and as long as there 
are sweet peas to improve, we will improve with them. 
Here are a few words from some of our customers and 
what they think of our seeds. Originals with names and 
addresses are in our files. 
Juneau, Alaska 
Dear Sirs: From the 1st of May until the 15th of 
September we had about 25 days of sunshine, all the rest 
rain; and sweet peas want sunshine, don’t like too much 
rain. The ones that had the chance to bloom were fine. 
On my place the California Butterfly and Mrs. Reddick 
grew 6 feet high. Duplex 5 feet but more blossoms. Stems 
averaged 12 inches. Anyway I have the satisfaction to 
tell you that your seed was the best because it was the 
only sweet peas that bloomed in this country, all the 
others were totally a failure. 
—W. E. S. 
Independence, Kansas. 
Gentlemen: Last year our sweet peas grown were 
very fine. Best we ever had. —Wm. H. 
Marrero, La. 
Dear Sirs: I have grown your seeds for the past 9 
years. Your new 60 day variety is the best yet for this 
locality owing to our long summer; Orange Supreme is 
the best pea I ever grew. Thanks. 
—J- J- B. 
Beloit, Kans. 
Dear Sirs: I bought your seed last year and was 
well satisfied. 
—C. D. H. 
Aschaffenburg, Germany. 
Dear Sirs: Your sweet peas were again very fine, 
especially the Pink Beauty with the marvellous stems. 
—G. R. 
Pawhuska, Okla. 
Gentlemen: We have used your seeds for years and 
have always had wonderful luck with them. -—R. F. 
Forrest City, Ark. 
Gentlemen: Am cutting from seed planted in Sept, 
Well pleased with your selections. 
—R. Greenhouses 
Palo Alto, Calif. 
Dear Sirs: Just a line to thank you for the Mrs. 
Reddick. I had in mind to plant some Mrs. Reddick 
later on. This flower is very beautiful and has a distinct 
artistic value. —J. L. U. 
Beaumont, Texas. 
Gentlemen: Year after year I grow sweet peas from 
your seed. They never fail me. •— MRS. A. W, 
La Jolla, Calif. 
Dear Sirs. I have never grown more beautiful sweet 
peas than from the seeds purchased from you and recom¬ 
mend them continually to friends. 
—MRS. H. J. H. 
Again we wish to thank you for past favors and 
trust that we may again be of service to you with our 
choice seeds, we are, 
Cordially yours, 
WILLIAM ZVOLANEK 8c CO.
