Winter Sweet Peas 
(350 seeds per oz.) 
NEW! ZVOLANEK’S 
MULTIFLOWERED CLASS 
These fine varieties are unusu- 
ally free flowering and long- 
stemmed with 
many stems 
carrying 5 and 6 flowers 
instead of the usual 3 and 
4. Sweet Pea growers can 
readily appreciate what this 
will mean in better market re- 
turns over a period of a few 
weeks of picking. 
Deep Rose (New). Deep, 
bright rose; fine for spring. 
5’s and 6’s on long stems. 
Vigorous growth. 
Lavender (New). Orchid- 
lavender, near Twilight in 
color. 4’s and 5’s on extra 
long stems. A strong grow- 
er. 
Giant Lilac (New). Bright 
mauve, same color as Tri- 
umph. Large flowers in 4’s 
and 5’s on extra long, heavy 
stems. Strong growth. 
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. 
“ZVOLANEK PEAS

uncommon in this strain 
White. Pure white. Many 5’s on long, strong stems.

cast. 4’s and 5’s. Stems are extra long, but not as heavy as 
the above varieties.

While we prefer the Spring Flowering for late greenhouse plant- 
ing, the Winter class does flower earlier and in some sections 
is preferred even for outdoor planting.
