Burpees Giant Sweet Peas 
for Fall Sowing | 
Sweet Pea seeds sown in the fall bloom earlier and more freely than if sown in the spring. Sow the seed as late in the fall 
as possible so that it may just germinate previous to frost, thereafter lying dormant all winter, ready to begin growth the 
first mild days of spring. In this locality (Philadelphia) sow in November and early December; further north, the middle 
of October, and in the south sow in late September and early October. 
Early Flowering 
Come into bloom 3 to 4 weeks earlier 
than the Giant Spencer varieties. 
Especially valuable for growing in 
frost-free sections and for earliest 
flowers outdoors in the north; also 
valuable for winter flowering under 
glass, for which purpose they are 
grown by florists in large quantities.
