Water Sweet Peas 
(350 seeds per oz.) 
NEW! ZVOLANEK’S 
MULTIFLOWERED CLASS 
The fine varieties listed be- 
low were flowered in our win- 
ter greenhouse trials last year 
where we found them not only 
unusually free flowering, but 
of exceptional stem length 
with many stems carrying 5 
and 6 flowers instead of the 
usual 3 and 4. Sweet Pea 
growers can readily appreci- 
ate what this will mean in 
better market returns over a 
period of a few weeks of pick- 
ing. We strongly recommend 
them, where long stems and 
premium quality are wanted. 
Whirlwind. Probably the 
finest of the new Multi- 
flowered type. Extra large, 
light rose flowers are borne 
in 5’s and 6’s on extremely 
heavy .14- to 16-inch stems. 
Growth is very vigorous and 
strong. 
5‘s and G s are not 
uncommon in this strain 
White. Pure white. Many 5’s on long, strong stems. Very 
promising. Available in August. 
Rose. Extra large medium rose flowers with many 5’s on 
extra long, heavy stems. Vigorous growth. 
Salmon Pink. Large, medium rose-pink flowers with salmon 
cast. 4’s and 5’s. Stems are extra long, but not as heavy as 
the above varieties. 
Orange Cerise. Color as named. Extra large flowers on 
long stems. A bright and striking color. 
Prices above varieties, each: 14 oz., $2.00; 1 oz., $3.75; 
4 ozs., $12.50; 1 lb., $40.00. - 
Winter Peas are still one of the retail grower’s bread and butter 
crops—and when well grown they are wanted on most wholesale 
markets. The long stemmed, fragrant beauties that bring real 
prices call for sterilized soil and early sowing so that vines will 
become sufficiently hardened to hold buds for winter flowering. 
With us this is early July—later farther south. Based on our an- 
nual greenhouse trials, the varieties listed under our “12 Best” are 
dependable and proven commercial varieties.

pink. Good stems and free flowering.
