“Five of the Finest” for 25 Cents 
Sweet Corn—Burpee’s Golden Bantam 
First introduced (exclusively by us) just eleven years ago (in 1902), this is the sweetest in flavor 
and most popular first early sweet corn in cultivation today. Its hardy character allows the seed 
to be planted earlier than any white seeded sweet corn, so that it gives the earliest ears possible to 
produce. For illustrations and full description see pages 9, 10 and 47 of ‘Burpee's Annual for 1913. 
New Lettuce—Burpee’s Earliest “Wayahead” 
Named “ Wayahead ” as aptly descriptive of its superiority over all other early heading varieties. 
So steadily has it increased in demand from pleased planters that we were scarcely able to meet the 
demand last season. We sold ten thousand three hundred and seventy-seven packets and packages 
more than of our next most popular lettuce, Burpee’s Brittle-Ice. The verdict of the public must 
be final! 
Melon—Burpee’s “Spicy” Cantaloupe 
See painting from nature on last cover page of Burpee's Annual forl913. Most distinct, bothin appear¬ 
ance and peculiarly rich sugary flavor—the juicy flesh is of a deep rich salmon color, frequently 
measuring 2 inches thick, entirely stringless and exceptionally luscious in flavor—most tender and 
practically melting in the mouth. The delicious flavor extends to the very rind. It is very prolific, 
frequently producing as many as ten large melons on a vine. 
Onion—Burpee’s “ Gigantic-Gibraltar 
No other known variety equals this in size. The trials of l< Gigantic-Gibraltar ”at Fordhook each 
year stand out way ahead of all other sorts. The huge bulbs of Burpee’s “Gigantic-Gibraltar” are 
most delicious and mild; in fact, far surpassing the smaller sorts for delicate flavor. 
Tomato—Burpee’s “Dwarf-Giant 
See illustration in this advertisement. A new tomato that possesses qualities never before seen in 
the dwarf tomatoes. It is much the largest fruited of all dwarf tomatoes. The fruits are truly gigantic 
in size, and the most meaty of all tomatoes. It is even superior to its parent Ponderosain delicious 
flavor. $&&*See colored plate, page 5, and full description, page 23, of Burpee's Annual for 1913.

many planters. It might be to your interest

you a copy ? If so, kindly write today. 
The growing crops, both on our own 
farms and under contract, are subject to

and trueness to type. The trials at 
Fordhook Farms alone 
number more than twenty 
thousand every year.

* s KEYSTONE of our success! Burpee’s Seeds cost more to produce 
V£UciIUy than do usual commercial grades, but are worth much more than the 
difference in cost! Proof of this statement is the acknowledged fact that we have built 
up and maintained for so many years the largest mail-order seed trade in the world.
