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 34 to 37. 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 where the late Sweet Peas have not done well, have your customers try the Early Flowering. They will bloom 
before the summer heat arrives. Sweet Peas do best in cool weather. If seed was not sownin the fall, it should be sown as 
early in the spring as the ground can be prepared in 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. 
Y, lb. or more of any named Sweet Pea listed may be ordered at the Ib. rate. 
We have marked with a star (*) the varieties that 
we particularly like in each color class; if you are 
in doubt as to which to choose, make your selection from 
those thus marked. All are lovely and each has its own 
merits; you would not make a mistake in planting any 
of them.
