The Florists' Review 



The ""SPENCEr Type o{ Sweet Peas 



Burpee's Unequaled List for 1913— Arranged Alphabetically. 

 Choicest Re-selected Stocks Grown on ''Floradale 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 

 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 bis order and note the differenoa In character of 

 flowers produced!

BURPEE'S BLUE LIST FOR 1913 



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 O 

 placed after what is known to be best. In addition full descriptions are given many new and most 

 valuable varieties. 



BURPEE'S BLUE LIST FOR 1913 contains 148 pages with hundreds of halftone 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.
