Confidence 
is the one thing that makes 
possible the commerce of the 
world. It is the greatest factor 
that enters into a purchase of 
seeds, because you are not buying 
a finished product, but only the 
means by which your garden may 
be either a pronounced success or a 
partial failure. Seeds—good or bad — 
may look the same, but their result¬ 
ing crops,---How different! You cannot 
afford to risk a season’s work with seeds 
of unknown quality. When you buy 
BURPEE’S SEEDS the element of doubt 
is removed so far as is possible by human 
care. The confidence of many thousands of 
pleased and permanent customers is main¬ 
tained by the Burpee Idea of Quality First—“to give rather than to get all 
that is possible.” Confidence of our customers—combined with the efficient 
Burpee Service—has built the World’s Greatest Mail-Order Seed Business. 
The House of Burpee 
has introduced more distinct new varieties of vegetable and flower seeds 
that are now in general cultivation than have any other three American 
firms, but never have we cataloged any one of these new varieties until 
it had passed all the exacting requirements of the Burpee Standard. This 
Burpee Standard is maintained by rigid tests at Fordhook Farms, America’s 
Largest and Most Complete Trial Grounds. These tests are made each 
year for the purpose of strengthening this Bond of Confidence between our 
customers and ourselves.
