grov/n flowers realize 

 doubtful if any other 



ready demand for good Sweet Peas. Well 

 most remunerative prices, and it is 

 any other crop will bring the florist greater 

 profits, considering the outlay for stock and the ease with which 

 the crop is handled. 



To ensure flowers of highest quality and at a time before the 

 market is glutted with ordinary stock, the seed should be sown 

 duiing January or February in pots. Start them in a cool house 

 or even a cold-frame, and so have first-class sturdy plants for set- 

 ting out in the open field early in April. This method will give 

 you flowers in late May, and much superior to those sow^n 

 directly in the open. 



When ordering ask for our leaflet on Sweet Pea culture. 

 The House of Burpee is recognized the world over as American 

 headquarters for Sweet Peas. Burpee's Sv/eet Peas are grown 

 and developed on Floradale Farm, our California seed ranch, and 

 our strains are unsurpassed for high-class quality and "trueness" 

 to type and color. 



Good Sweet Pea seed is scarce this season, due to short crops, 

 and as our stocks of some varieties are limited, we suggest early 

 ordering. 



The following list includes only such varieties as we know^ to be 

 of value for market work. For fuller descriptions and classified 

 list of all varieties, including many novelties now offered for the 

 first time,
