BURPEE'S ORANGE 



Burpee's New Winter Flowering Sweet Pea 



For many years we had 

 this color in view in our 

 hybridizing work; for long 

 it eluded us but at last we 

 were successful, Burpee's 

 Orange even exceeding in 

 beauty our most sanguine 

 ambition. 



Burpee's Orange is in 



every way distinct from 

 other so called orange 

 varieties. There is no trace 

 of pink or orange-pink in 

 cither standard or wings. 

 It is a true glowing orange 

 self, practically the shade 

 of a bright ripe orange. 



The rich glistening color 

 compels attention in any 

 light, but at night, under 

 artificial light, it is indeed 

 outstanding. Burpee's 

 Orange has been pro- 

 claimed by experts and the 

 press alike as being the 

 greatest advance of many 

 years in this type of Sweet 

 Pea. In the opinion of 

 many the vase of Burpee's 

 Orange included in our 

 Gold Medal Exhibit at The 

 National Flower Show at 

 Indianapolis, March, 1922, 

 was the finest and most 

 outstanding vase of Sweet 

 Peas in the exhibition. 



Burpee's Orange is a free 

 grower, with flowers of 

 largest size produced in 

 threes and fours on stems 

 of great length. The stand- 

 ard and wings arc charm- 

 ingly waved or crinkled. It 



is indeed a pleasure and also a privilege to be in a posi- 

 tion to offer our friends and customers a variety of such 

 merit — a variety of which we can all feel proud. Burpee's 

 Orange was awarded Certificate of Merit at The Inter- 

 national Flower Show, New York, March, 1921. 



Burpee's Orange was greatly admired when ex- 

 hibited this spring at The International Flower 

 Show in New York. Some of the largest Sweet 

 Pea growers who have seen Burpre's Orange on 

 exhibition share our belief and assure us that 

 the demand for Burpee's Orange will be tre- 

 mendous.
