The Burpee-Quality in Seedsl 



Burpee's Seeds 



and New Jersey, as well as in the gardens of Planters 

 everywhere,— BURPEE'S SEEDS are proved by test to 

 be the Best Seeds that Grow. Consequently, we hold 

 the largest mail-order seed trade in the world. 



With a view to serving our customers even better and to 

 provide for further increase in business, we purchased — a 

 3 T ear ago and have equipped — an additional building on 

 Fifth Street and a double warehouse on York Avenue, 

 south of the Burpee Building, erected in 1898. We also 

 bought a farm in New Jersey, to supple-

 Fordhook Farms, so long famous as 

 ; ?t,"i ;, the most complete trial grounds ', in 



-' J.W- 1 -^ America. 



We began in the Centennial year of American 

 Independence. The little building that first 

 saw our declaration of independence is shown 

 herewith. We do more business now in a week 

 than in the two years (1876 and 1877) that we 

 occupied this little building. And yet our great 

 organization to-day is the wholesome growth 

 from the seeds then sown. As a leading horti- 

 culturist once wrote, " It is because Burpee's 



Seeds Grow— that the Burpee Business 



Grows ! "

 usual commercial grades, — and 

 yet are worth much more. At
