THE "SPENCER" TYPE OF SWEET PEAS 



Burpee's Special Re=selected Stocks for 1911. 



"SPENCER" SWEET PEAS are a great specialty with us I We were tlie first to grow the seeil in America^tbe 

 stooli having been entrusted to us before introduction, even In Englanil, of tlie original Countess Spencer. We have 

 grown "the original Beauty" and its many "sportive" children with painstaking care each season since. Tliere are btlt 

 few other groweis who can supply an equal assortment of True RE-SELECTED "SPENCERS" that are uniformly of 

 such choice quality. Seedsmen and Florists can see how superior our stocks now are by 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 

 FEOR.\DALE F.\R.>I in the beautiful Lompoc Valley. Ever.v planter's garden, however, is really a trial ground and wc 

 shall be quite content if any "Doubting Thomas" will send us only a portion of his order and note the difference In 

 character of flowers produced I 



rfr^S^ Vou can buy so-called "Spencer" Sweet Peas at half our prices— but the result will be only disappointment 

 LU — & — and when in Hower you will surely admit that you would gladly have paid even double our nrices to have 

 had the BCRPEE-(H'.4I-ITY of the TRUE SPENCER TTl-E!
