History W. Atlee Burpee & Co., founded in 1876, became one of the most trusted names in American agriculture through its extensive seed catalogs and emphasis on reliable, early-yield crops. By 1905 , Burpee was firmly established as a national brand, and varieties like Best Extra Early Pea were heavily promoted to home gardeners and commercial growers alike. Early peas were especially important in northern climates, where short growing seasons made fast-maturing crops highly desirable. Seed advertising from the early 1900s relied on strong visual identity and clear promises of performance. Rather than flashy imagery, ads like this focused on trust, quality, and results—using confident language and clean design to communicate value. These advertisements were commonly displayed in general stores, hardware shops, and seed counters, where customers made planting decisions months before harvest. Modern reproduction metal signs preserve this agricultural heritage while making it accessible for contemporary décor. Burpee seed reproductions remain especially popular because they combine gardening history with timeless Americana design. This 1905 Best Extra Early Pea sign captures the spirit of an era when home gardening was both a necessity and a point of pride, making it a meaningful decorative piece as well as a nod to early American self-sufficiency.
