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 tlie seed in America— the 8toci< 

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

 original Beauty" and its many "sportive" children with painstaking care eacii season since. There are hut fewothergmw- 

 ers— either in llngland or America— who can supply an equal assortnii'iit of True Re>selected "Spencers" that are uiii- 

 fornily ol sucli choice (juality. SeedHiien and planters gtneially can sfe how superior our stocks now are by the trials at 

 rordhook Farnns next June or July, while tho^i' who may be in California are invited also to inspect the growing cro]>s at 

 our Floradale Farm in the beautiful l.cinpfc Valley. Every plantei's gardni, however, is really a trial ground and weshall 

 be quite content if any "Dtubting Then, as" will send us only a portion of his order and note the "lilleience in character 

 ol riowera produced. 



You can buy so-called ".Spencer" Sweet Pca> at half our prices— but the result will be only disappointment, and when in tiowtr you 

 wiU surely admit that you would gladly have paid eren double oar prices to have had the Burpee Quality of the True Spencer Tjpe.
