BIRPEE'S PRIMROSE 

 SPENCER 



B 



I Ills is a fitting companion to Ucit 

 i'KK's Whitk Si'K.NCEit. The vine is 

 equally rhrifty and free flowering 

 l)ut slightly shorter in growth, at 

 taining a height of eight to nine feet. 

 The flowers are well placed on strong, thick 

 stems, ten to twelve inches long, and are 

 borne never less than three flowers, but 

 sometimes four flowers, to the stem, as 

 shown In the Illustration opposite. The 

 standard measures one and three-quarters 

 Inches to nearly (If not quite) two inches 

 across by ab«mt one and one-(iuarter Inches 

 deep ; the wings are an Inch across by one 

 and one-eighth inches deep. The texture 

 is fully as substantial as in BuurEE's 

 White Spexcek. 



The color is a pitoxouxcED pklmrose or 

 creamy yellow throughout Iwth standard 

 and wings. It is equal in depth and rich- 

 ness of color to The Hox. Mas. E. Ken- 

 YOX, which, of course, it outranks in form 

 and size. Both standard and wings are 

 thoroughly crinkled or "waved." Burpee's 

 Primrose Spencer will hold its own with 

 any of the so-called "Yellow" Sweet Peas 

 in color, while it surp.vsses .\t,l others of 

 THIS COLOR in size of flower, length of 

 stem and vigor of growth. A decided ac- 

 ((uisition to the Spencer type and the first 

 of its color to bo introduced.
