The '' SPENCER" Type of Sweet Peas 



Burpee's Unequaled List for 1913. Arranged AlpHabetically. 



CHoicest Re-selected StocKs Grown on " Floradale Farnx." 



SPEXCER SWEET PEAS are a great specialty with us! We were the first to grow the seed in 

 \merieu— the stock having been entrusted to us iiefore introduction, even in England, of the original 

 Countess Spencer. We have grown "the original Beauty" and its many "sportive" children with 

 paiustakiug care each seasou since. There are but few other growers — either in England or America 

 —who cau supplv an equal assortment of True RE-SELECTED "SPENCERS" that are uniformly 

 of such choice quality. Seedsmen and planters generally can see how superior our stocks now are 

 bv the trials at FORDHOOK FARMS next June or July, while those who may be in California are 

 invited also to inspect the growing crops at our FLORADALE FARM in the beautiful Lompoc Val- 

 ley. Every planter's garden, however, is really a trial ground and we shall be quite content if any 

 "Diiubtiug Thomas" .will send us only a portion of his order and note the difference in character of 

 flowers produced!

BURPEE'S BLUE LIST FOR 1913 



The most complete catalogue published for Market Gardeners, Truckers and Florists. For the planter who 

 "knows" it contains complete lists of all that is best in vegetables and flowers, while the grower who is uncertain 

 as to the best varieties suited for his purpose may be guided by the bull's eye O placed after what is known to be 

 best. In addition full descriptions are given many new and most valuable varieties. 



BURPEE'S BLUE LIST FOR 1913 contains 148 p.=iges with hundreds of halftone and engraved illustrations. 

 Within the pages of this catalogue we have condensed an experience of thirty-five years both in handling and the 

 actual growing of seeds. 



If von "arden for profit (that is. sell vour products in the market) you are entitled to a copy of this complete and easily 

 understood catalogue, but if yuu are a private planter please do not ask for a copy, as we must protect the Market 

 Gardener, Trucker and Florist.
