BURPEE'S SWEET PEAS 



NEW -WINTER FLOM^ERING SPENCERS 



The coal problem is one of great concern to the commercial florist, and there 

 appears to be no alternative, except to produce such crops as can be grown with 

 the smallest amount of heat. Sweet Peas can he successfully grown under con- 

 ditions that would not allow production of other popular flowers. We recommend 

 to our florist friends that they sow Sweet Peas under glass for a commercial win- 

 ter crop. Sweet Peas are the logical paying crop for the coming winter. They 

 may be grown with ver>' little heat. 



The BURPEE WINTER FLOWERING SPENCER SWEET PE.\S are the re-, 

 suit of crosses made at Fordhook Farms during the past ten years, and are great 

 advances in the various colors. The seed is all grown on our Floradale Farm, 

 "The California Home of Sweet Peas." The greatest care is given to their produc- 

 tion, and all stocks may be relied upon as being true to type and color. 



BURPEE'S SWEET PEAS during the past few- years have been awarded seven 

 silver cups, six golil medals and innumerable certificates for new varieties. Thus 

 clearly demonstrating the great superiority of the stocks that we offer.
