~ SWEET PEAS 
CUTHBERTSON 
Ability to stand hot weather, length of stem, big wavy blossoms, number of blossoms 
(four to six per stem), fragrance, and brilliant colors, characterize this superb strain of 
Sweet Peas. 
It is the result of about sixteen years of breeding and possibly the mn 
important of all, it withstands hot weather to a marked denrecue : x see 
In our trials, Cuthbert- 
son continued to produce an abundance of Jarge flowers on good stems, well into the 
hot summer, 
earlier than the Spencer listed below. Mixed colors only. 
be worked and danger of severe frost is past.
