A Message to You 
Before looking over our list for 1939-40 we wish to 
convey to you these few words and letters from our 
grower friends as to just what they think after growing 
our sweet peas and other flower seeds. 
In order to get our seeds to such a high standard, 
we spend many hours in our field trials each season; 
eliminating some trials at once, holding others over for 
another season, and trueing others that are not up to 
standard. This task is very pains-taking and no hap¬ 
hazard methods are used. The eliminating process is 
J continually going on each season and nothing but the 
best of the best reaches you. 
, Improvements are continually going on. Just at 
present we are running two types; the foremost is the 
long stem and vigorous type which we chose to call the 
Reddick type and of which the variety Mrs. H. S. Reddick 
is the fore-runner. This type also has the ability to hold 
buds better during cloudy weather and you will pick 
flowers from these when you will have no flowers from 
other sorts. 
The other type is the Colossal type with the extra 
large flowers of which Colossal Pink and Rose Flare are 
the fore-runners. Flowers are gigantic. These two types 
are the highest development in sweet peas today and in 
the next two years we will have a full line of all colors in 
both these types which are best for growers. 
We are proud of the following letters and many 
others which we are unable to print on account of lack 
of space. We wish to thank our grower friends for them 
and hope they will not ever be disappointed with our 
seeds

Dear Sirs: 
It gives me more pleasure to grow Zvolanek’s Sweet 
Peas than any I have ever grown. This year makes the 
seventeenth year I have grown them and it seeems each 
year they are more beautiful and satisfying. I only wish 
I had space to plant more varieties. 
Sincerely, 
—Mrs. H. C. K. Flanford, Calif.

Dear Sirs; 
I appreciate your very friendly reply concerning my 
order dated Sept. 30th and after reading your catalog, I 
must admit I am at a loss to know just what is the very 
best for my requirements. What would really please me, 
\vould be to have you make my selections for me. I don’t 
believe I have ever seen sweet peas like yours before. 
With kindest regards, I remain
