New Early Sweet Pea, World's Fair 
Burpee’s New 
Early Flowering 
Sweet Peas 
for 1939 
The five new Sweet Peas offered on these 
two pages, together with Pearl Buck, 
shown in color on front cover and de¬ 
scribed on inside front cover, are excep¬ 
tionally fine and probably the best selec¬ 
tion of new varieties ever put out by us. 
3309 World’s Fair 
(Early Flowering) 
World’s Fair is a truly remarkable early 
Sweet Pea. It is distinct in color—a light 
golden cream faintly overlaid with a deli¬ 
cate suffusion of fawn which gives the 
flowers a delightful light fawn-pink ap¬ 
pearance. The fawn suffusion blends to a 
deeper shade towards the edges, which to¬ 
gether with the exquisite rufflings of the 
petals, adds so much to the delicacy and 
refinement of the flowers. 
Many of the blooms are duplexed, again 
adding to the attractiveness of this new 
Sweet Pea. The keel is not prominent and 
is often shielded by the wings. The 
flowers are extremely large, well formed 
and artistically placed in fours on long, 
substantial stems. Plants are extremely 
vigorous and while not quite so early 
flowering as some varieties, World’s Fair 
blooms profusely for a very long time. 
We exhibited World’s Fair Sweet Pea 
at many of the flower shows this past 
spring, and it drew quite a lot of attention, 
whether seen in daylight or under arti¬ 
ficial light. Its fairy-like, graceful rufflings 
and softness of color appealed to everyone, 
especially the ladies. World’s Fair with its 
vigorous, healthy growth and long stems 
is especially fine for use under glass. 
Oz. 85c; 4 ozs. $3.00; lb. $10.00. 
3162 Golden Pinli (Early Flowering) 
The name of this new early flowering Sweet Pea best describes its color but does not do justice 
to its beauty. The standard of the flowers is a glowing golden or fawn-pink, clear and bright, the 
back being identical to the front. The lovely, soft golden pink color is distributed evenly over both 
surfaces, there being no change or variation in shade from the margins to the base. The wings are 
just a shade lighter than the standard, but the difference in tone is almost imperceptible. 
Flowers are large and beautifully formed, many being duplexed and prettily ruffled; stems are 
long and usually carry four blooms each. Vigor of plants is good and they are very free flowering. 
Golden Pink is of an outstanding color—lovely at all times and especially handsome under artificial 
light. As a bunching variety, Golden Pink is second to none. Oz. 85c; 4 ozs. $3.00; lb. $10.00.
