The ""Spencer" Type of Sweet Peas 



Burpee's Special Re-selected Stocks for 1912 



"Spencer" Sweet Peas are a great specialty with us. We were the first to grow the seed in America— the stock 

 having been entrusted to us before introduction, even in England, of the original Countess Spencer. We have grown "the 

 original Beauty" and its many "sportive" children with painstaking care each season since. There are but few other grow- 

 ers— either in England or America— who can supply an equal assortment of True Re-selected "Spencers'* that are uni- 

 formly of such choice quality. Seedtmen and planters geneially can see how superior our etocks now are by the trials at 

 Fordhook Farms next June or July, while thoee who may be in California are invited also to inepect the growing crops at 

 our Floradale Farm in the beautiful Lompoc Valley. Lvery planter's garden, however, is really a trial ground and we thall 

 be quite content if any "Doubting Thcrcas" will send us only a portion of his order and note the difference in character 

 of flowers produced. 



.You can buy Bo-ealled "Spencer" Sweet Peas at half our prices— but the result will be only disappointment, and when in flower you 

 will surely admit that you would gladly have paid eren double car prleei to have had the Barpee Qaallty of the Trae Spencer Type.
