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 56 to 61. 
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 and more every year. 
If you live in a locality where the late Sweet Peas have not done well for 
you, try some Early Flowering. 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. We have 
marked with a star (*) the varieties that we prefer in 
each color class; if you are in doubt as to which to 
choose, make your selection from those thus marked.
