Burpee -Quality Seeds Help 

 Solve the Market Problem 



1 1 is our pleasure to record a greatly improved market condi- 

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

 prosperous sezison for the Market Grower. 

 Many causes contributed to the unsatisfactory vegetable 

 market of 1913, and it is eJso true that these same causes 

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

 Com, 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, has done more to demoralize 

 the markets than any other factor. 

 The discussions at these meetings have brought the 

 invariable conclusion that QueJity Produce did sell 

 — and sell well — at the highest price obtainable. 

 Quality 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 

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

 ment of doubt is removed so far as is p>ossible by human care. 

 A careful canvass of our Market Grower friends hsis brought 

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

 Burpee's Seeds." 



The conclusion is inevitable: Burpee's Seeds grow Quality 

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

 Seeds help solve the market problem. 



Did you use Burjiee's Seeds in 1915? If not, we earnestly 

 solicit your orders for 1916. The profit is mutual.
