Sweet Peas 
Zvolanek’s Multiklowered 
This is definitely the newest thing in greenhouse Sweet Peas. 
This type is unusually free-flowering and the exceptional stem 
length carries five to six flowers instead of the usual three and four. 
Sweet Pea growers can readily appreciate what this will mean in 
better market returns over a period of a few weeks of picking. 
We strongly recommend them where long stems and premium 
quality are wanted.

tremely heavy 14- to 16-inch stems. Growth is very vigorous and
