SWEET PEAS—Cuthbertson Strain 
Spring-flowering 
CUTHBERTSON STRAIN 
For greenhouse sowing between October and February, this new 
strain is superior to the early or winter class. While the stronger 
growth makes them a week or 10 days later flowering, they are 
generally longer stemmed and last longer into the spring than the 
weaker-growing earlies. They are also excellent for outdoor plant- 
ing, 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.
