Michells Sweet Peas 
Spring-flowering Sweet Peas 
New Cuthbertson Strain 
For greenhouse sowing between October and February, this 
new strain is superior to the early or winter class. While the

they are generally longer stemmed and last longer into the spring 
than the weaker-growing earlies. They are also excellent for 
outdoor planting, being very resistant to hot weather. Seed sown 
this past spring in early March produced plants that remained 
in good bloom until the middle of August.
