What Burpee -Quality Seeds 

 Mean to the Market Grower. 



^ 



At the Seventh Annual Convention of the Vegetable Growers' Association 

 of America, held in Horticultural Hall. Philadelphia. October. 1914, we 

 had the pleasure of talking with and listening to the many earnest men 

 who are doing so much for the advancement of the market growing in- 

 dustry. We were impressed with the importance and scope of the work of 

 this splendid organization, and realized even more than before the market 

 grower's absolute dependence for success upon selected "Seeds of Quality." 

 The position occupied by the seedsman who undertakes to supply seed to 

 the market grower is one of great trust. Surely his service is one based 

 on confidence. 



Confidence makes possible the commerce of the world. It is the great- 

 est factor that enters into a purchase of seeds, because ydii. are not 

 buying a finished product, but only the means by which your garden will 

 be either a pronounced success or a partial failure. Seeds — good or bad — 

 may look the same, but how different their resulting crops 1 

 You cannot afford to risk a season's work with seeds of 

 unknown quality. 



When you buy BURPE£'S SEEDS the element of doubt is 

 removed so far as is possible by human care. The con- 

 fidence of many thousands of pleased and permanent cus- 

 tomers is maintained by the Burpee Idea of Quality First, — "to give 

 rather than to get all that is possible." This confidence on the part of 

 our customers, combined with the efficient Burpee^Service, has built ' 

 the world's greatest mail-order seed business. 



A careful examination of this "Blue List" should convince you of the 

 excellence of our pedigree strains for market 'growers, and then a trial 

 order — if you are not already a Burpee customer — will t>rove that your 

 confidence has not been misplaced. 



Burpee's Annual for 1915, our complete retail catalog of 182 pages, has 

 already been mailed. If you have failed to receive it, kindly write at 

 once and a duplicate copy will be forwarded. 

 For the utmost development of good seed service, we are.
