EARLY FLOWERING SWEET PEAS 
Burpee’s Early Flowering Sweet Peas come into bloom outdoors before the summer heat arrives—3 to 4 weeks earlier than the Giant 
Spencer varieties. 
They are valuable for winter flowering ‘under glass, also especially adapted for growing in frost-free sections and for 
earliest blooms outdoors in the North. 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. 
We have marked with a star (*) 
the varieties that we prefer in each color class; if you 
are in doubt as to which to choose, make your selection from 
those thus marked. All, however, are lovely and desirable. 
In each color class, we have arranged varieties from deep 
to light shades.
