POSTAGE. 



In a year when scarcely any tvfo 

 seed catalogues contain identical pro- 

 visions covering postage for the deliv- 

 ery of seeds, W. Atlee Burpee & Co., 

 Philadelphia, put the matter differently 

 from any of the others that have been 

 heard from. Page 26 of the Annual 

 says: 



SEEDS DELIVERED FREE BY PARCEL POST. 



By special act ol Congress seeds were ad- 

 mitted to the parcel post In March, 1914. The 

 former flat rate of 1 cent for two ounces of seeds 

 or bulbs Is maintained, however, up to and in- 

 cluding eight ounces. Under this new law small 

 lots of seeds can still be mailed at a uniformly 

 low cost through the entire country, while larger 

 quantities can be sent at reduced rates to 

 neighboring zones. 



We deliver free to any address In the United 

 States, Its colonies, and also to all foreign coon- 

 tries with which we enjoy the advantages of 

 International parcel post, all seeds at prices 

 quoted in this catalogue by the packet, ounce, 

 quarter-pound, pound, half-pint and pint. 



We deliver free also by parcel post beans, peas 

 and sweet corn by the quart and four quarts to 

 any address within 300 miles of Philadelphia, that 

 Is, within the first three zones, which include all 

 of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Dela- 

 ware, Maryland, Connecticut, Rhode Island and 

 Massachusetts, with parts of Virginia, West 

 Virginia, North Carolina. Vermont and New 

 Hampshire, as shown in the map below. 



For customers in zones outside the first three, 

 who may order quantities of one to four quarts, 

 we have deducted the cost of postage to the 

 third zone and show amount of balance to be 

 remitted in the table on the preceding page. Tlins 

 we aim to equalize, as nearly as iK>ssibIe, the 

 advantages of the parcel post and at the same 

 time make it safe and easy to order seeds bj 

 mall. 



Two maps are printed, one showing 



the whole country, with zone circles, 



and a table showing the postage on

Asparagus Lutzi 



This new Asparagus Fern has many qualities 

 which render it superior to the old Asparagus 

 Plumosus. It does not wind; it flowers pro- 

 fusely and seeds freely; its cultivation is very 

 simple, and it omy reauires a cold house; it 

 has no thorns. Even without water it will keep 

 fresh for weeks when cut. A full description 

 will be sent on application.
