BURPEE'S SWEtT PEAS 



NEVir WINTER FLOMTERING 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 be 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. Sweep Peas are the logical paying crop for the coming winter. They 

 may be grown with very little heat. 



The BURPEE WINTER FLOWERING SPENCER SWEET PEAS are the re- 

 sult 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 fo 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 gold medals and innumerable certificates for new varieties. Thus 

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