BUBPBE'S BARLIEST WHITE— in contrast with "Mont Blanc" to the left. 



New Sweet Pea-Burpee's "EARLIEST WHITE." 



Comes into fall bloom in forty-five days after the seed is planted in the open ground. The 

 dwarf plants, sixteen to twenty inches high, are clad in rich, dark-green foliage, and carry a 

 profusion of the pure white flowers, borne ui>on strong stems six to eight inches long. Each 

 stem has two or three of the fully expanded, well-formed flowers, of good size and placed 

 close together. 



From seed planted on May 18th last Burpee' ■ Earliest White was in full bloom on July 

 Ist, Mbile Mont Bianc. planted the same day, was showing only a few buds. It is also won- 

 drously profuse-blooming. 



TinT«r\Qo'a TTQ-rliocf Whii-o is not only as extremely early, but also just as hardy 

 DUiptJtJ B Jl<d,IliebL VVlllie as the famous plnk-and-white Burpee's Rarlieit of 

 All. it has black seed, and is really the only clear white Sweet Pea that has. This insures 

 a better stand, stronger and more thrifty plants. 



T^nrr»aa'a TTQ-rliocf W^hifA will be welcomed by amateurs everywhere, both 

 -tJU-ipctJ S XL/dilllt/ol/ vv iliLt; account of its hardiness and because pure wt 

 Sweet Pea^can now be had so quickly from seed sown in the open ground.

 XJUiptJc S> X!id,lllcot ¥V iiiLt; there is no other variety so quick-growing or sure- 

 cropping, excepting only The Beselected Bnrpee's Earliest of All, described belo^v. Like the 

 latter, the plants under glass fCKln to bloom freely when onlv twelve inches high and con- 

 tinue to grow and flower profusely until, when six or eight feet tall, they reach the top of the 

 greenhouse; the plants can tben be cut back, if desired, and will make an equally vigorous 

 second growth. s^AU florists know, of courte, that the refular varieties of Tall Sweet 

 Peas are of no value whatever for forcing, if early flowers are desired."**

SWEET PEA -BURPEE'S "EARLIEST OF ALL." 



Reselected— Extreme 

 Early. 



Mr. Gould, the originator 

 of Burpee's Earliest t>f All, 



has continued to develop the 

 earliness and dwarf babit. un- 

 til in this Reselected Extreme 

 Early we have a strain as 

 much earlier than Earliest of 

 All as that variety is ahead of 

 Extra Early Blanche Kerry, 

 which again is earlier than 

 the original Blanche Ferry. 

 The plants of this new strain 

 come into full flower when 

 only twelve inches high and 

 three to four weeks in ad- 

 vance of the first parent var- 

 iety. 



In our Trial Grounds, 

 when the standard varieties of 

 Sweet Peas all came into 

 flower quite early (from 

 spring-sown seed), this Ex- 

 treme Early was in bloom on 

 June 3, the regular strain of 

 Earliest of All on June 9, and 

 Extra Early Blanche Ferry on 

 June 17. Under less favorable conditions the 

 difference in the period of flowering is even 

 more marked. For winter flowering In the 

 greenhouse It is the TEBV BEST of the popular 

 plnk-and-white U pe of flowers. Mr. Tbos. Gould 

 has grown this strain exclusively for us, and the 

 originator's seed of this Reselected can be had 

 only under our registered trade-mark seal. The 

 selection is made each season and hence this 

 strain is being constantly improved. H V Natural KIze—
