THE "SPENCER" TYPE OF SWEET PEAS 



Burpee's Special Re=selected Stocks for 1911. 



"SPENCER" SWEET PEAS are a great specialty with us! We were the first to grow the seed in America — the 

 stock having: been entrusted to us before introduction, even in England, of the original Countess Spencer. We have 

 srrown "tile original Beauty" and its many "sportive" children with painstaking care each season since. Tliere are but 

 few other growers wlio 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 

 F.^RMS next June or July, wliile tliose wlio njay be in California are invited also to Inspect the growing crops at our 

 FLORADALE FAR.M in the beautiful Lompoc Valle.v. Every planter's garden, however, Is really a trial ground and we 

 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! 



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

 Ui — a — and when in flower you will surely admit that ,vou would gladly have paid even double our prices to hav* 

 had the BURPEE-QU.*LITY of the TRUE SPENCER TYPE!
