Are Sweet Peas Hard to Grow in Your Climate?—Here’s The Answer. 
NEW HEAT RESISTANT SWEET PEAS 
CUTHBERTSON’S STRAIN 
Flowers in Hot Weather 
Not only do they continue blooming long 
after hot weather has come and other 
sweet peas have died, but they begin 
blooming two weeks ahead of the Stand- 
ard Spencers. The flowers are of the true 
Spencer Orchid Flowering type with long 
stems and wavy petals. Large and de- 
liciously fragrant, they are produced in 
great quantity on plants of exceptional 
vigor. The colors are bright and clear. If 
you grow only one strain of Sweet Peas 
this is the most practical.

CUTHBERTSON'S Heat Resistant Sweet Peas 
Dear Sirs: June 19, 1953, St. Louis, Mo. 
I had grand success with your Cuthbertson’s Sweet Peas. They have 
been in bloom a month. Each day, I pick a huge bouquet and the 
colors are exquisite. Not a dry leaf on them and other years my 
Sweet Peas were just gone by now. Mrs. I. C. Ropers
