Directions for Sowing: In order to get best results 
with sweet peas they should be soaked in water 
from eight to ten hours and then plant them im¬ 
mediately. When the plants are up place a wire 
netting directly behind them, about four or five 
feet tall, and train them over this. The seeds should 
be planted very shallow. 
Note: Each package of Burpee's Salmon, Burpee's 
White, and Felice Gunther contains about 35 seeds 
(being special varieties) while the other varieties 
contain about 95 seeds. 
NEW CYNOGLOSSUM AMABILIS, 
IMPROVED 
"Chinese Forget-me-not" 
This new Cynoglossum resembles Myosotis Alpes- 
tris so closely that an expert cannot tell them apart, 
and it can be brought into flower any time during 
the year. It will commence to flower seven to eight 
weeks after sowing and brings a great amount of 
cut material and should be very valuable for raising 
on benches in greenhouses during the winter. Color 
and growth are perfect in every detail.

Dear Sir: I have some wonderful Delphiniums blooming 
raised from your seeds last year. Some of the plants stand 
41/2 feet and the blooms are wonderful in size and color. 
Yours truly, 
A. J. SEEMANN.

Salisbury, Maryland, November 20, 1933. 
Mr. Richard Diener, Oxnard, Calif. 
My Dear Sir: You might be interested to know that the 
Delphinium seeds purchased from you have produced 
plants which bloomed here all summer and showed no 
signs whatever of the Delphinium rot. Before trying your 
seeds we were never able to get the plants to produce an 
autumn crop unless fresh seedlings were planted in June. 
In fact, by August, they always had disappeared. The 
stamina of your Delphiniums is marvelous. 
Faithfully yours, 
EVERGREEN HOUSE. 
BURPEE'S SALMON 
THE AZTEC BEAN 
It is one of the largest beans known. It grows in 
bush form, just like the Lima Bean, and is peren¬ 
nial in places where it is not too cold or too frosty. 
It grows like any other bean, but stands a great 
deal of drought. Its flavor is unexcelled. Dry beans 
can be cooked just like Lima Beans. It is very pro¬ 
lific, and we recommend anyone who raises beans 
to give it a trial. Late frost in spring will not kill 
the young vines.

LaGrange, Indiana, April 5, 1934. 
Mr. Richard Diener, Oxnard, Calif. 
Dear Mr. Diener: I ordered a package of "Dreams of 
Beauty" Delphinium seeds two years ago and after bloom¬ 
ing two years must say they are wonderful in deepness of 
color and haven't seen any disease among them so far. 
Have it in some of my other plants and expected the others 
would become infected, but no signs. 
Yours truly, 
MRS. H. G. ERWIN.

Rhinebeck, New York, June 18, 1934. 
Mr. Richard Diener, Oxnard, Calif. 
Dear Sir: Last year you mailed me Delphinium seeds on 
July 19. These were planted in the greenhouse and trans¬ 
planted into the field the later part of September. Have 
harvested some very fine flowers from these already. A lot 
of these first spikes measured 5 feet and are the best I 
have ever had from a fall set. 
Yours very truly, 
ROSWELL COLE.
