c Burpee's Early Flowering 
Sweet Peas 
Burpee’s Early Flowering Sweet Peas come into bloom 3 to 4 weeks earlier than the Summer Flowering varieties 
offered on pages 40 to 45. They are especially adapted for growing in frost-free sections, and for earliest blooms 
outdoors in the North and also valuable for winter flowering under glass. They are being planted more arm more 
every year. If you live in a locality where the late Sweet Peas have not done well for you, try some Early Flower¬ 
ing. They will bloom before the summer heat arrives. Sweet Peas do best in cool weather. If seed was not 
sown in the fall, sow as early in the spring as the ground can be prepared. They prefer an open, sunny location, 
and deep rich soil which must be well drained. 
Burpee’s Sweet Peas are famous the world over as the “Best That Grow.” The flowers are extra large, of perfect 
form and texture, well placed on long strong stems and usually produced in sprays of four. To simplify selecting 
varieties, we have marked with a star (*) those that we consider best in their color group.
