BURPEE'S BLUE LIST FOR 1913 



The most complete catalogue published for Market Gardeners, Truckers and Florists. For the 

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

 grower who is uncertain as to the best varieties suited for his purpose may be guided by the bull's-eye O 

 placed after what is known to be best. In addition full descriptions are given many new and most valu- 

 able varieties. 



BURPEE'S BLUE LIST FOR 1913 contains 148 pages with hundreds of halftone and engraved 

 illustrations. 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 

 understood catalogue, but if you are a private planter please do not ask for a copy, as we must protect the Market 

 Gardener, Trucker and Florist.
