Burpee’s New Early Sweet Peas tor 1939 
3395 White Giant (Early Flowering) 
Bill Hoag, manager of our Floradale Farms, sums up his description of this outstanding variety 
as follows: “White Giant is the best white-seeded early Sweet Pea I have ever seen. It has everything 
—vigor, stem, large flowers and practically all fours.” Jacob Gunther, a well-known Sweet Pea 
grower, Long Island, N. Y., says, “White Giant is marvelous, the best white in commerce. It makes 
tremendous, long, thick stems, with mostly four flowers of very large size.” 
White Giant is not “just another white Sweet Pea.” It is outstanding for every feature which dis¬ 
tinguishes a quality Sweet Pea from the average variety. The petals are of such heavy substance 
as to be almost waxy in appearance. 
For vigor, form, substance, stem length, placement, size and pure dazzling whiteness, White 
Giant excels all other white-seeded Sweet Peas. Oz. 85c; 4 ozs. $3.00; lb. $10.00.

3160 Blue Jay (Early Flowering) 
No other mid-blue early Sweet Pea can equal Blue Jay 
in the different attributes upon which Quality Peas are 
judged. Blue Jay outrivals other mid-blues for purity of 
color and is also the longest stemmed of all. Then, too, 
the flowers are extremely large and of excellent form, 
somewhat waved, with many duplexed standards. The 
sprays usually bear four flowers each, all open at 
one time and carried with most excellent place¬ 
ment. The plants themselves are most vigorous 
and extremely free flowering. 
The main portion of the standard and wings 
is a pure mid-blue shade. Around the margins 
the color is a soft mid-blue that 
appears as if it were covered 
with a silvery sheen, a most 
pleasing effect. Blue Jay is extra 
fine and the best of the mid¬ 
blue early Sweet Peas.

3306 Pearl Buck 
(Early Flowering) 
See inside front cover for full description of this 
new, outstanding early rose Sweet Pea. 
The color is truly magnificent. When flowers begin to open, 
they are a rich, deep eosine-pink on white ground with a 
distinct glow of golden pink in the shadows. As they fully 
expand, the color becomes a trifle more mellow without losing 
its vividness and may best be described as a clear, deep but 
bright salmon-pink, warm and particularly pleasing. 
Combined with the lovely color of 
the flowers is their perfect form and 
wonderful substance. The standard is 
held boldly erect and nicely waved; 
the wings are smooth and well rounded. 
The beautiful salmon-pink coloring is 
carried evenly over the entire surface 
of standard and wings. 
Flowers are very large, well 
placed on long, thin but wiry 
stems. Plants are vigorous and 
free blooming. Joseph is a most 
appealing Sweet Pea.
