NEW CUTHBERTSON SWEET PEAS 
IN SEPARATE COLORS 
_The new Cuthbertson sweet peas, with their 
vigorous growth and extra large well-formed 
blooms carried on long stiff stems, are far 
superior to the old Spencer Sweet Peas which 
we formerly listed in colors. For this reason 
we have discontinued our listing of the name 
varieties of Spencers and are offering for the 
first time the new Cuthbertsons in separate col- 
ors. The early flowering Cuthbertsons are su- 
perior to other strains for northern gardens as 
they are heat-resistant and under favorable 
growing conditions will produce four to five 
blooms on each of the extremely *long stems. 
They will continue to flower throughout the 
season if the blooms are picked daily.
