Gbtohae - Quality ^getables 
is the Keystone of our success. Burpee’s Seeds cost more to produce 
V^Uwlliy 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. 
“Five of the Finest” for Twenty-Five Cents 
New Victoria “ Whole -Salad ” Tomato 
Most Delicious and Most Prolific of All “ Individual ” Tomatoes 
T r- I Jnim Nnvpltv will be welcomed by thousands of planters because of its great 
■* *1*5 wOlCJllvJ llOVCiiy superiority both in quality and productiveness. It bears so 
tremendously and so continuously that twenty plants should yield more than one family could eat 
in a season. The vigorous vines are covered with fruits borne closely in clusters,—as many as three 
hundred and seventy-three well-developed fruits on a single plant at one time. The 
tomatoes measure two and a half inches in diameter and weigh three to four ounces each. They are 
of a rich bright scarlet color right up to the stem, and so solid that they remain in fine condition for 
a long time. The firm fruits are just the right size for serving whole, either alone or with lettuce, 
while the flavor is the best Ave have ever found in a “ whole-salad ” tomato. For full description 
and illustration of a cluster from a photograph,— see page 25 of Burpee’s Annual for 1914. Ford- 
hook-Grown Seed is sold only in small sealed packets each containing forty seeds and bearing our Registered 
Trade Mark. Per pkt. 15 cts.; 2 pkts. for 25 cts.
