The"Spencer ' Type of Sweet Peas 



Burpee's Special Re-selected Stocks for 1911 



'' SPENCER " SWEET PEAS are a s^reat specialty with us ! We were the first to grow the seed in 

 America "the stocic 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 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. 



_ _ You can buy so°called "Spencer" Sweet Peas at half our prices <= but the result will be only disap- 

 pointment, and when in flower ynu will surely admit that you would gladly have paid EVEN DOUBLE OUR 

 PRICES to have had the BURPEE QUALITY of the TRUE SPENCER TYPE !
