NEARLY FORTY YEARS OF 

 SUCCESSFUL SEED SELLING 



W^ 



t. are now in our tinrty-ninth year of supplying "Seeds 



That Grow " to critical private and market gardeners' 



tr^de. For more than thirty years we have been 



selecting and re selecting all of the leading vegetable and flower 



seeds. We feel sure that better seed cannot be produced. 



Since first starting in business (1876) we have specialized 

 in supplying seeds direct to planters who appreciate Quality. 

 We have never sought a retail counter trade, as we fee! that 

 with easily understood catalogs, better service could be rendered 

 by requesting the planter to make up his order in the quiet ol 

 his home, instead of waiting in line before a seed-counter. That 

 our efforts have been successful is proved in that we now have 

 the largest mail-order seed business in the world. 



More than thirty years ago we decided that to secure seeds 

 of the best quality it was necessary to produce on our own 

 farms specially selected stocks, and this intensive work is now 

 being carried on to a greater extent than ever before. 



Fordhook Farms is the home of many special stocks ii; 

 \egelables and flowers. At Sunnybrook Farm in South Jersey 

 we specialize in tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, muskmelons. 

 watermelons and squashes. Floradale Farm, our California 

 ranch in the Lompoc Valley, is famous as the California homf 

 of sweet peas. Vast areas throughout the United States aic 

 devoted — subject to close personal inspection — to producing 

 seeds of the Burpee-Quality. Great Britain and Continent \1 

 Europe contribute large quantities of the varieties that are there 

 grown to the highest state of perfection. To garden intelligently 

 you should l(noTa> the seeds you buy. 



The Revised Edition of our Thirty-Fifth Anniversary Sup- 

 plement portrays by pen and picture the methods of the Hcus ■ 

 of Burpee.
