SEEDS GROW 



and are the Best S^ds that can be grown 



QUALITY IS Tp FIRST CONSIDERATION in Burpee s Seeds-the best possil^e 



quality rfeardless of the cost of production— that is the rule with all * 

 Burpee's ^eds. While our prices may be higher than those of some^'ftth^r 

 houses, y^ the quality of the seeds in every case warrants the '^^ijes ' 



charged. We aim always to excel in quality rather than to compel^ in price. ; 



■•1 



Burpee's Seeds are Grown by Burpee! 



As a rule, this is absolutely true. Those varieties of seeds that cannot be 

 produced to the highest standard of excellejl^jfftpon our own farms are 

 raised under private contract, subject to our personal inspection during 

 growth, in such sections of America and Europe as long experience" iTSiS^^^ 

 shown to be best adapted to their proper development. Ordinarily, we " ^ 

 buy no seeds on the open market. fr 



Those who once use Burpee's Seeds continue to want them year after year. *

The most complete catalogue publiehed for Florists, Market Gardeners and Truckers. For ttae'. 

 planter who "knows" it contains complete lists of all that ie best in flowers and vegetables, while the

 valuable varieties. 



Burpee's Blue List for 1912 contains 146 pages, with hundreds of half-tone and engraved illustra- 

 tions. Within the pages of this catalogue we have condensed an experience of thirty-five years both in 

 handling and the actual growing of seeds. If you garden for profit (,that is, sell your products in the 

 market) you are entitled to a copy of this complete and easily undef|tood catalogue. It is sent only to 

 growers for market, for we must protect the trade. 



Of any florists who have not used Burpee's Seeds all that we ask 

 is a fair comparative trial — no matter how small your first order 

 may be. Shall we send you a "Blue List"?
