Burpee -Quality Seeds Help 

 Solve the Market Problem 



It is our pleasure to record a greatly improved market condi- 

 tion, and we confidently predict that 1916 will prove a most 

 prosperous season for the Market Grower. 

 Many causes contributed to the unsatisfactory vegetable 

 market of 1915, and it is also true that these same causes 

 created a most profitable market for Staples, such ets Wheat, 

 Corn, Oats, etc. 

 During 1915 we attended many meetings where market 

 growers gathered to formulate plans to overcome the then 

 prevailing unfavorable conditions. Much good resulted from 

 these conventions, as they have proved beyond question that 

 inferior produce in large quantities, dumped without thought 

 of quality or condition, heis done more to demoralize 

 the markets than any other factor. 

 The discussions at these meetings have brought the 

 invariable conclusion that Quality Produce did sell 

 — and sell well — at the highest price obtainable. 

 QueJity Produce can no more be the harvest of inferior seed 

 than high-bred cattle can be the product of inferior or diseeised 

 stock. 



Burpee's Seeds are known the world over as the American 

 Standard of Excellence. When you buy Burpee's Seeds the ele- 

 ment of doubt is removed so far as is possible by human care. 

 A careful canvass of our Market Grower friends has brought 

 this answer: "Yes, we certainly grew first-class crops from 

 Burpee's Seeds." 



TTie conclusion is inevitable: Burpee's Seeds grow Quality 

 Produce, and Quality Produce brought good prices. Burpee's 

 Seeds help solve the market problem.
