Your Garden and Burpee's Seeds

HERE is one man in 

 this great Country of 

 ours who is helping the 

 Farmers, great and 

 small, in a permanent 

 way, and that man is 

 W. Atlee Burpee, of Philadelphia, 

 California and the Planet Earth. 



He mates plants, breeds, and evolves 

 Seeds that Grow. 



Whether you plan to plant a square 

 yard of ground, an acre or three acres, 

 you should, for your own protection 

 and satisfaction, write Burpee. 



Burpee knows what he is talking 

 about, and he gives Service plus. That 

 is, he experiments with Seeds three 

 hundred sixty-five days each Year, at 

 his own expense, but only the Best he 

 sells to you. 



This is an interesting fact : Burpee 

 experiments for you — you don't exper- 

 iment for Burpee. 



The Burpee- Business is more than 

 that — it is a Friendship. "My Friends" 

 (what a fine phrase for a Business 

 Man !) — that means honest treatment, 

 fair dealing, prompt service and 

 Seeds that Grow. 



Burpee buys no seeds in the Open 

 Market. Burpee seeds are grown by 

 Burpee. 



Burpee is a Busy Boy bent on 

 Benefiting you. 



Burpee's Customers are always 

 Burpee's Customers. 



Any man or woman, girl or boy, 

 who is interested in a Garden, Flowers, 

 or Home-grown Vegetables, would do 

 well to write to W. Atlee Burpee for 

 his Latest "Seed-Book." It's a Gar- f ; 

 ■den Guide. . . . The information 

 given has not been gleaned from an 

 Encyclopedia; it's the crystallized 

 Garden Experience of a Man who tells 

 of things as he knows them — W. 

 Atlee Burpee. You should have this 

 Book — and you may. Just Address 

 Burpee — Philadelphia. 



The above advt. was written by the Editor. ELBERT HUBBARD, 

 and appeared in The Fra, January, 1910. That "Fra Elbertus," as 

 the editor is familiarly known, and his fellow "Roycrofters" believe in 

 BURPEE'S SEEDS is even better proven, however, by the annual 

 orders for their own planting at East Aurora, N. Y.
