The '^SPENCER" Type of Sweet Peas 



Burpee's Ur»e<iuale<i List for IQI4. Arranged AlpKabetically. 



CKoicest Re-selected StocKs Grown on "Floradale Farm." 



.SPKNCKU SWEET TEAS ure a Kreut sj)fei:ilt.v witli us! We were tlie first to grow the seed in 

 America — tlje stooli Ijaving been entrusted to us before introduction, even in England, of the original 

 Countess Spencer. We have grown "tlie original Beauty" and its many "sportive" children with 

 painstaking care each season since. There are but few otlier growers — either in England or America 

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

 of such choice quality. Seedsmen and planters generally can see how superior our stoclts now are 

 by the trials at EORDHOOK FAR.MS next June or July, while those who may t>e in California are 

 invited also to inspect the growing crops at our FLORADALE l'"AI!.M in the beautiful Lompoc Val- 

 ley. Every planter's garden, however, is really a trial ground and we sliall 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!

BURPEE'S BLUE LIST FOR 1914 



The most complete catalogue puljlished for Marl<et Gardeners, Truckers and Florists. For the planter who 

 "knows" it contains complete lists of all that is best in vegetables and flowers, while the grower who is uncertain 

 as to the best varieties suited for his purpose may be guided by the bull's eye o placed after what is known to be 

 best. In addition full descriptions are given many new and most valuable varieties. 



BURPFEE'S BLUE LIST FOR 1914 contains 148 pages with hundreds of halftone and engraved illustrations. 

 Within the pages of this catalogue we have condensed an experience of thirty-five yeai-s both in handling and the 

 actual growing of seeds. 

 if you garden for profit (that is. sell your products In the market) you are entitled to a copy of this complete and easily 



understood cntalogue. but if you are a private planter please do not ask for a copy, as we must protect the Market 



Oardener, Trucker and Florist.
