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 blgoms 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. 
All types of sweet peas prefer an open, sunny location, and deep, rich soil which must be well drained. — 

Film and stage actress June Lockhart with a bouquet of sweet peas pre- 
sented to her by David Burpee who created this new variety and named it 
in her honor.
