Cuthbertson Sweet Peas 
CUTHBERTSON SWEET PEAS 
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 older types. They are superior 
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.
