BURPEE'S SWEET PEAS 



NEW WINTER FLOWERING SPENCERS 



Tlie coal prolilem is oue of great concern t" tlie com- 

 meriial Horist, and there appears to be no alternative, ex- 

 cept to produce sueli crops as can be grown witb the 

 smallest amount of beat. Sweet Peas can be successfully 

 grown under conditions tliat would not allow production 

 of other popular tlowers. We recommend t4i our florist 

 friends that tliey sow Sweet Peas under glass for a com- 

 mercial winter crop. Sweet Peas are the logical paying crop 

 tor the coming \vinter. Tliey may be grown with very 

 little heat.
