The Newest 
SWEET PEAS 
THE NEW MULTIFLORAS 
Years of patient, painstaking work have gone 
into the production of these new sweet peas. 
The result is sturdier plants and longer stems 
bearing from 5 to 6 large, waved florets of 
beautiful color and entrancing fragrance. The 
stems, which may be thick and stiff or slender 
and wiry, may have 4 or 5 florets at first but 
the rugged plants soon start producing stems 
with 6 and occasionally more blooms. You’ll 
have the most beautiful sweet peas available 
if you plant some Multifloras this year.
