The "SPENCER" Type of 



SWEET PEAS 



Burpee's Special 

 Re=selected Stocks for 1912 



PENCER" 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 orig- 

 inal Beauty" and its many "sportive" children with painstaking care 

 each season since. There are but few other growers who can supply an 

 equal assortment of true re-selected "Spencers*' that are uniformly 

 of such choice quality. Seedsmen and florists can see how superior our 

 stocks now are by the trials at Fordhook Farms next June or July, 

 while those who may be in California are invited also to inspect the 

 growing crops at our Floradale Farm, in the beautiful Lompoc Valley. 

 Every planter's garden, however, is really a trial ground, and we shall be 

 quite content if any " Doubting Thomas " will send us only a portion of 

 his order and note the difference in character of flowers produced. 



ft You can buy so-called "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 even double our 

 prices to have had the Burpee Quality of the true Spencer type ! 



For complete list of varieties with prices consult BURPEE'S 

 BLUE LIST FOR 1912— a complete catalogue of 146 pages, for 

 Florists and Market Gardeners — which will be mailed upon appli- 

 cation, BUT ONLY TO THOSE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE IT. 

 Our retail catalogue is free to everyone. :: :: :: :: ::
