CHEERFUL 



Burpee's New Winter Flowering Sweet Pea 



This fine novelty is an en- 

 tirely new shade among the 

 Early or Winter Flowering 

 Sweet Peas. It is most ap- 

 propriately named, the color 

 being a "cheerful" soft shade 

 of Begonia-rose. The color 

 is pure throughout with no 

 other tints. Few varieties 

 make such an imposing 

 bunch as this great gem. The 

 flowers combine immense 

 size with good form. The 

 standard is broad and well 

 waved. The wings are also 

 much frilled, and in size of 

 the right proportion to the 

 magnificent spreading stand- 

 ard. The whole flower is all 

 that could be desired. 



Cheerful is good under 

 all conditions and lightens up 

 to a most attractive bright- 

 ness under artificial light. 

 The substance of the flowers 

 is thick and heavy, adding 

 greatly to the keeping value 

 after being cut. They are 

 well placed iji fours on long 

 stout stems. 



Cheerful is a good grow- 

 er and bears a large crop of giant flowers on strong an;d 

 healthy vines. The foliage is a rich deep green. Not only 

 are the individual flower spikes most artistic but they 

 make up into a delightful bunch. 



Cheerful was awarded a Certificate of Merit at the 

 great International Flower Show, New York, 1921. 



The illustration was engraved from 

 a life-aiie photograph taken 

 Burpee'* Fordhook Farmt.
