The Twenty-two Best Winter-flowering 

 Spencer Sweet Peas for Florists 



The first Spencer Sweet Tea in existence was brought to America by W. Atlee Burpee. Since 

 then the House of Burpee has introduced over two hundred distinct new varieties, each an improve- 

 ment on the past. And by constant hybridizing for the last ten years we have developed the new 

 Fordhook Early-flowering strain of Spencei &> weet Peas. We can now offer you all the finest colors 

 in the Early or Winter-flowering type of Spencers— everything offered is grown on our own Flora- 

 dale Farm in California. 



The House of Burpee is recognized as the AMERICAN HEADQUARTERS for Sweet Peas.
