Burpee’s Early Flowering Sweet Peas 
Varieties are arranged in each color class from deep to light shades 
Burpee’s Early Flowering Sweet Peas come into bloom 3 to 4 weeks earlier than the Summer Flowering varieties offered 
on pages 30 to 35. 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.
