FORTY YEARS OF BURPEE SERVICE 



For forty years we have aimed to render faithful service. For forty years we have tried to 

 make each year's service more nearly ideal. This untiring effort has built for us, not only the 

 world's largest mail order seed business, but a world wide reputation for efficient service and 

 undisputed leadersliip. 



More opportune than anything we ourselves may say aljout Burpee Quality Seeds are the 

 many remarkable things our thousands of cui^tomers and friends have said and continue to say 

 about them. These customers return to us ^(fAx after year, not because seeds cannot be found 

 elsewhere, but because of our superior quality and service. 



THE HOUSE OF BURPEE 



Has introduced more distinct new varieties of vegetable and flower seeds that are now in 

 general cultivation than have any three other American firms, but never have we cataloged any 

 one of these varieties until it had passed all the exacting requirements of the Burpee-Standard. 

 This Burpee-Standard is maintained by rigid tests at Pordhook Farms, America's largest and 

 most complete trial grounds. These tests are made each year for the purpose of strengthening 

 this Bond of Confidence between our customers and ourselves. 



The Fortieth Anniversary Edition of Burpee's Annual 



'I'he Leading American Seed Catalog is unlike any other. The front cover illustrates the 

 greatest novelty m Sweet Peas, "Fiery Cross," and the back cover the two famous Burpee Ban- 

 tams, Golden Bantam Com and Blue Bantam Peas. It is a safe guide to success, and of real 

 value to every one who plants seeds either foi' pleasure or profit. Florists and Market Growers 

 should have our Blue List, the Market Graweis" Handbook. Tliis is the wholesale price list for 

 jilanters. Write for these catalogs to-day. A post card will bring them.
