 risk a season's effort with seeds of unknown qual-

has introduced more distinct new varieties of vegetables and flower seeds that are now in general 

 cultivation than have any throe other American firms, but never have we catalogued any one of these 

 new varieties until it had passed all the exacting requirements of the Burpee Standard. Thih 

 Burpee Standard is maintained by rigid tests at Fordhooli Farms, America's largest and most com- 

 plete trial grounds. These tests are made each year for the purpose of strengthening this Bond of 

 Confidence between our customers and ourselves.
