Burpee’s Early Flowering Sweet Peas 
Varieties are arranged in each color class from deep to light shades 
Burpee’s Early Flowering Sweet Peds come into bloom outdoors before the summer heat arrives—3 to 4 weeks earlier than 
the Giant Spencer varieties offered on pages 56 to 60. 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.
