Burpee's 












W. Atlee Burpee, 3rd, grandson of the founder, and 
manager of Floradale Farms, shoulder-high in Sweet 
Peas. Burpee Sweet Peas have been world-famous for 
more than half a century, the Giant Ruffled class being 
the most outstanding development in recent years. 
Two new varieties are being introduced by us this 
year—Ruffled Blue Improved and Lavender Ruffles. 
Another is Fragrance, the most fragrant of all Sweet 
Peas. No effort or expense is spared on our various 
farms to produce the Best Seeds that Grow.

Floradale Farms were established 41 years ago, especially for 
the production and further development of Sweet Peas. Soil 
and climate are such that other flowers and vegetables grow to 
perfection and produce strong, healthy seeds of the highest 
germination and quality—much better than those grown 
elsewhere. Evidence of their merit is attested to by the numer- 
ous awards won by Burpee flowers and vegetables. Floradale 
has produced many outstanding new varieties for the gardens 
of the world. The name Burpee is your Guarantee of Quality.

Petunias are another Burpee specialty. Among our 
noteworthy creations are the Alldoubles, the Multi- 
flora (F,) hybrids and other well-known bedding 
varieties. Above is pictured the new distinctive 
Tally-Ho growing for seed on Floradale Farms. Note 
the profusion of blooms. It is an unforgettable sight 
to see acres upon acres of petunias, zinnias, asters, 
marigolds, snapdragons, etc., growing at Floradale 
and our Santa Paula Farms to provide you with the 
newest and best for your garden.
