. Early Flowering SWEET PEAS 
Burpee’s Early Flowering Sweet Peas come into bloom outdoors before the summer heat arrives—usually 
3 to 4 weeks earlier than the Burpee Giant 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.
