Burpee's Annual for 1912 



" The Leading American Seed Catalog " 



Is now ready for mailing. The first edition of more than four hundred thousand 

 copies will soon be distributed. As usual it is sent unsolicited only to "Customers 

 of Record." We shalj be pleased, however, to mail a copy immediately upon 

 application (a postal card will do) to every one who appreciates QUALITY IN SEEDS. 



This Silent Salesman (and we employ no " talking " salesmen to solicit 

 orders) tells the plain truth about The Best Seeds That Can Be Grown. Besides 

 colored plates of Burpee-Specialties, this bright book of 1 78 pages shows hundreds 

 of the choicest vegetables and most beautiful flowers, illustrated from photo- 

 graphs. It is almost indispensable to all who garden either for pleasure or profit. 



The "House of Burpee" is known the world over not only as EXPERTS 

 IN Sweet Peas but also as Seed Specialists. No other American firm has 

 ever introduced so many novelties of sterling value, — and no other growers supply 

 seeds annually direct to so many planters. It might be to your interest to 

 read THE BURPEE ANNUAL. It will cost you only one cent for a post-card to 

 send us your address, and you are under no obligation to buy. We never 

 annoy applicants with "follow up" letters! 



Shall we mail you a copy? If so, kindly write to-day.
