BURPEE'S SEEDS GROW 



FOR forty years we ha\'e rendered faithful 

 >er\-ice. For forty _\ears we have tried to 

 make each year's ser\'ice more nearly ideal. 

 'Fhi.s untirin.y; efTort has built for us not only the 

 World's Largest Mail ( )rder Seed Business, but 

 also a world-wide reputation for el'ticient service 

 and undis]nited leadership. 



.Much more opportune than anything' we our- 

 selves may say about Btirpee Quality Seeds, are 

 the man\- remarkable things our thousands of 



customers and friends have said and continue to 

 say about them. These customers return to us 

 year after }ear, not because seeds cannot be found 

 elsewhere, btit because of our superior quality and 

 service. 



Any one who is not thoroughly satisfied with 

 the products raised can have his money back any 

 time within the year, for such is the guarantee 

 that protects all who plant seed bought from 

 Burpee of Philadelphia. 



Fortieth Anniversary Edition of Burpee's Annual 



"The Leading American Seed Catalog" for 1916 

 is unlike any other catalog. The front cover 

 illustrates in nine colors the greatest novelty in 

 Sweet Peas, the unique "Fiery Cross." The back 

 cover shows the two famous Bur[)ee Bantams, 

 Golden Bantam Corn and Blue Bantam Peas.

 cer Sweet Peas; also the New Gladioli, Fordhook
