THE ZVOLANEK SWEET PEA 
Early - Semi-early (spring-flowering) and summer-flowering 
This is the super sweet pea of the future. During the next 
ten years all sweet peas: early, semi-early (spring flower- 
ing) and summer-flowering will all be the Zvolanek Sweet 
Pea introduced by William Zvolanek in 1950. Last year, 
1950, we introduced the first five varieties of this multi- 
flowered type in early-flowering and from all reports we 
have had they are excellent and have no equal. We have 
now many colors and it is only a matter of production 
until we have a full range of colors on the market. This 
year we will introduce at least two—possibly three new 
colors. We also have a good start on the semi-early (spring- 
flowering) in about ten colors and about twenty colors in 
the summer-flowering in our trial grounds. These will be 
in production soon. This new William Zvolanek Sweet Pea 
usually starts with four and five flowers and steps up to 
six, seven and eight flowers. Stems on this type are un- 
usually long; some with heavy long pencil stems and 
others with long wiry stems. Many varieties are also highly 
fragrant which is very rare in the older types. 
Why grow the older types when the Zvolanek type will 
give you larger bunches, longer stems, fragrance and a 
multitude of flowers on a stem. 
Ant. C. Zvolanek, father of William Zvolanek, introduced 
the first early-flowering Grandiflora Sweet Pea in about 
1890. These were the small sweet pea with two to three 
flowers-on a stem, and again in 1918 introduced the Early 
Spencer history making Zvolanek’s Rose which had the 
longest run of any sweet pea in existence. Since then sweet 
peas have been about standard with two, three and four 
flowers on a stem. Now the William Zvolanek Sweet Pea 
of 1950, the multi-flowered sweet pea of the future is the 
coming sweet pea. Again a Zvolanek triumph. 
AGAIN THE BEST — ZVOLANEK'S.
