The "SPENCER" Type of Sweet Peas 



Burpee's Unequaled List for 1914— Arranged Alphabetically, 

 Choicest Re-selected Stocks Grown on 'Tloradale Farm." 



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 growers, — either In England or America, — who can supply . 

 an equal assortment of True RE-SELECTED "SPENCERS" that are uniformly of such choice quality. 

 Seedsmen and planters generally can oee 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 !

BURPEE'S BLUE LIST FOR 1914 



The most complete catalogue published for Market Gardeners, Truckers and Florists. For the planter who 

 "knows" it contains complete lists of all that is best in vegetables and flowers, while the grower who is uncertain as 

 to the best varieties suited for his purpose may be guided by the bull's-eye ® placed after what is knov^ to be best. 

 In addition full descriptions are given many new and most valuable varieties. 



BURPEE'S BLUE LIST FOR 1914 contains 148 pages with hundreds of halftones and engraved illustrations. 

 Within the pages of this catalogue we have condensed an experience of thirty-five years both in handling and the actual 

 growing of seeds. 



If you garden for profit (that is. sell your products in the market), you are entitled to a copy of this complete and 

 easily understood catalogue, but if you are a private planter please do not ask for a copy, as we must protect the 

 Market Gardener. Trucker and Florist.
