MICHELL’S SPRING and SUMMER FLOWERING SWEET PEAS 
Es tae ee ee 
Spring-Flowering, Cuthbertson Strain 
Bo 
For greenhouse sowing between October and February, this new strain is superior to the early or winter class. 
While the stronger growth makes them a week or ten days later flowering, they are generally longer stemmed and 
last longer into the spring than the weaker-growing earlies. They are also excellent for outdoor planting, being very « 
resistant. to hot weather. Seed sown this past spring in early March produced plants that remained in good bloom 
until the middle of August.
