The House of Burpee 



is recognized throughout the world as American headquarters for Sweet Peas. Our 

 strains are selected with special care, and the seed is the best it is possible to pro- 

 duce. THE BURPEE SEED CROPS, both on our own farms and under con- 

 tract, are subject to careful, critical inspection during growth, while samples of 

 every lot are tested both for vitality and trueness to type. 



The Burpee Standard in Seeds 



is the highest it is possible to attain today, and yet we aim for still further better- 

 ment. Progress is our watchword ! Planters, whether gardening for pleasure or 

 profit, soon learn that the best is the cheapest. The cost of the very best seeds is 

 so small compared with the value of the resulting crop that sensible planters know 

 they cannot afford to risk seeds of doubtful pedigree, — and we know just as well 

 that we cannot afford to risk our hard-earned reputation by selling stock of uncer- 

 tain character. 



We are Specialists in Seeds. 



Our entire time is devoted to producing and distributing seeds, — seeds only, and 

 only seeds of the best quality. We aim to do this one thing well. We shall be 

 pleased to give any advice in our power as to your other horticultural requirements. 

 The same care is used in testing and improving the excellence of Burpee's Flower 

 Seeds that has made Burpee's Vegetable Seeds famous. 



Florists and Market Gardeners 



should write for our Blue List This is our Wholesale Price List for those who 

 plant for profit. The business of market growing does not warrant the use of 

 seeds of unknown quality any more than the use of haphazard methods. We will 

 gladly mail both our Annual, which is a descriptive catalog, and our Blue List, 

 which contains the right prices for florists and market gardeners. Our Blue List 

 contains the full list of desirable florists' seeds. 



Burpee's Flower Seeds for Florists. 



At Fordhook F"arms in Pennsylvania, Sunnybrook Farm in New Jersey, and our 

 Floradale Farm in California, we are growing acres of flower seeds, especially those 

 varieties that do best in the different localities. Other flower seeds are produced 

 on contract by careful growers both at home and abroad. Superior quality cannot 

 be procured from any source.
