This Book, known as 
Burpee’s Blue List 
is for the exclusive use of Market Gardeners and Flor¬ 
ists who, on account of the larger quantities of seeds 
they require, are entitled to these Special Wholesale 
Prices. We are anxious to do all we can to help you 
make a success of your business by supplying the finest 
seeds it is possible to furnish and let you have them at 
low prices. As a grower, you know the importance of 
Good Seeds; you cannot take chances on the quality of 
the seed from which you expect to make your profits. 
Sow Burpee’s Tested Seeds—you can rely on them. 
They are guaranteed. 
We do not offer the so-called Flower Seed “Trade 
Packet.’’ Knowing that Florists prefer to buy in definite 
quantities, we have listed fractional ounce quantities 
and priced them as low as is consistent with first-class 
seeds. Should Market Gardeners or Florists want the 
small packets offered in Burpee’s Annual retail book, we 
will gladly supply them at a special discount of 33J4%. 
If bulbs or roots are wanted, we will allow you a 25% 
discount from the retail prices of separate varieties in 
small quantities; 20% discount on special collection 
offers. If large quantities of bulbs or roots are wanted, 
write for special quotation. No discount will be al¬ 
lowed on packets, bulbs, or roots if the retail value of 
goods ordered at one time is less than $2.00. 
Burpee’s Annual 
Retail Garden Book 
Every market gardener and florist should have a copy 
of Burpee’s Annual Garden Book for 1935 because it is 
the best and most reliable retail seed catalog ever issued. 
It fully describes the best varieties of Vegetables, Flow¬ 
ers, and Bulbs. One of these books has been sent to 
you; keep it on your desk for reference. If you want 
another copy for yourself, friend or neighbor, let us 
know, and if you have any friends who grow for market, 
send us their names and addresses so that we may also 
mail them a copy of Burpee’s Blue List. Important: 
the Blue List is for the exclusive use of the market 
gardener, trucker, and florist, so please do not let it get 
into the hands of retail buyers. 
The Burpee Guarantee 
We guarantee the safe arrival of your order, and the 
vitality and purity of our seeds and bulbs, to the full 
amount of the purchase price. You can have your 
money back any time within the year if you are not 
satisfied with the results. Even with the highest quality 
seeds and bulbs, success in gardening or farming de¬ 
pends largely upon cultivation, soil, and weather con¬ 
ditions. Therefore, in no case shall W. Atlee Burpee Co. 
be liable for more than the amount actually paid us for 
seeds or bulbs.
