Pipe Pan, for joy and let thy 

 Shepherds sing ! 



Mr. Burpee being very busy writing up his 

 new catalog turned the writing of this ad 

 over to one of his new young men — who 

 hopes you will like it so well that promotion 

 will follow shortly. Send in your orders. 



q When the Pilgrim Fathers landed 

 on Plyraouth Rock — shelter, food and 

 firearms were the first desideratums. 

 We do not credit all of the ditty that : 



" First they fell upon their knees 



and praised the Lord, 

 And then got up with fire and sword, 



and fell upon the aborigines." 



^ More likely they wrote home to 

 the old country for some farm and 

 garden seeds. Their eighty or ninety 

 million descendants don't have to do 

 that — they have seedsmen of their 

 own — men who have grown up with 

 them and studied their wants and 

 their climate and know their peculiar 

 needs from a to izzard. If you want 

 the finest 



American Grown 

 Pedigree Seeds 



for the farm or the garden try the 

 largest mail order house in the world 



BURPEE 

 Philadelphia 



^ And, be sure to include in your 

 order the three great Sweet Pea 

 Novelties they offer for this season. 

 q Anyway, they want to get ac- 

 quainted with you and would be 

 happy to have you send for one of 

 their catalogs. It is a splendid book 

 and a liberal education on horticul- 

 ture. Mailed free and with pleasure. 

 Liberal terms to the seed trade, 

 who are invited to catalog these 

 and other novelties.
