Burpee's "Seeds That Grow" 



ARE supplied each season direct to many more planters than are the seeds of any 

 ■*■ * other brand. BURPEE'S SEEDS are known the world over as the best it is possible to 

 produce, and are acknowledged the American Standard of excellence. In thirty-six 

 years of successful seed selling we have introduced more Novelties that are now in 

 general cultivation than have any three other firms. We produce Selected Stocks 

 upon our own seed farms in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and California, while FORDHOOK 

 FARMS are famous as the largest trial grounds in America. No Government Experi- 

 mental Station attempts such complete trials each season, and the information here 

 obtained is of incalculable benefit to planters everywhere. 



Burpee's Annual for 1913 



Each season we travel more than 30,000 miles to inspect personally 

 our growing crops, and yet never solicit an order! We ask, therefore, 

 that you give Burpee's Annual for 191 3 — "our silent salesman" — your 

 careful attention in the quiet of your own home. It is a bright new 

 book of 180 pages, picturing by pen and pencil all that is best in seeds, 

 and tells the plain truth. While embellished with colored covers and plates 

 painted from nature, it is A Safe Guide — entirely free from exaggeration. 



Simply send us your address today, stating that you saw this ad- 

 vertisement in THE GARDEN MAGAZINE and the Annual will be 

 mailed at once. A postal card will do — and you will not be annoyed 

 by any "follow-up" letters. 



Small Gardens for Small Folks 



In connection with our New Departure of Seeds for the Children's 



Gardens, we publish this interesting and instructive Little Book. Its 

 four chapters, with useful illustrations, tell what and how to plant and 

 explain the "why and wherefore" of successful gardening. Parents and 

 teachers will welcome this original new Booklet as filling "a long-felt want." 



So enticingly is the story told that children will find its reading almost as absorbing as a fairy tale! 



This Unique Little Book, — making " The Lure of the Land" appeal to the hearts of children, — is sure of 



such an enthusiastic welcome everywhere that we have published a first edition of more than two hundred 



thousand copies. 



Seeds for Children's Gardens 



Parents and teachers as well as the children themselves will be vitally interested in reading 

 pages 107, 108 and 109 of The Burpee Annual telling about this New Departure. 



Many would doubtless like to "have a sample" of just what we are doing; therefore, we offer
