HE SWEET PEA during these few years of the twentieth 

 century has grown steadily in popularity until to-day it 

 is by far the most popular of all annual flowers. 



In 1902 the first Spencer Sweet Pea in existence was brought to 

 America by W. Atlee Burpee. Since then we have introduced 

 over 200 distinct new varieties, each an improvement on the 

 past. And by constant hybridizing for the last eight years we have developed 

 the new Fordhook Early Flowering Strain of Spencer Sweet Peas. So now 

 we can offer you all colors . of the finest Sweet Peas both standard sorts and 

 the Fordhook Early Flowering Spencers. 



Surely you must grow Sweet Peas in your garden! The Sweet Pea is the 

 finest there is in flowers and it can be grown in your garden 

 quickly from seed. 



Two Collections of the famous Burpee Sweet Peas are offered 

 below. With each Collection we include the Burpee Leaflet 

 "How to Grow Sweet Peas."
