SWEET PEAS 
ORCHID FLOWERING GIANT SPENCER 
Sweet Peas, botanically known as LATHYRUS ODORATUS, are hardy annuals in a full range of colors and are grown 
principally for cut-flowers, fragrance and floral screens or backgrounds. Burpee’s Sweet Peas are world-famous. They are grown 
in California where soil and weather conditions combine to produce well-ripened, full-of-vitality seeds that will produce a 
magnificent display of flowers. We list here only those varieties which Burpee classes as particularly fine. Here are the Giant 
Spencer or Orchid-flowering type, sometimes called summer blooming. We recommend late fall and early spring planting 
for a prolonged flowering season.
