Formerly the famous Burton Seed Company Farm, comprising 160 acres of the most fertile land, located 3 miles outside of Denver. 
I N ORDER to maintain and produce High Quality Seed, extensive trials are necessary. We 
now own and operate the above farm and in addition, we own and operate, with our affiliate 
ed companies, in excess of 6,000 acres of land devoted to extensive trials and the production 
of seed and vegetables. We carry on extensive trials and work with the United States Depart' 
ment of Agriculture in experimenting and testing new varieties, especially lettuce. 
Extensive trials of different vegetables to find those best adapted to Western soils and 
conditions. 
Field Seed Prices 
Quantity prices on field seeds are not stated for the reason that 
they cannot be accurately determined at the time the catalog is 
printed. As field seeds move in larger volume than garden seeds, 
stocks and markets are constantly changing. We, therefore, issue 
price lists to meet these conditions and they will be mailed to in¬ 
terested parties upon request. 
Or, if you have an idea of the variety or kind and approximate 
amount of Field Seeds you may require, send us your list and we 
will, without obligation to you, gladly make Special F.O.B. or De¬ 
livered Prices. 
Our Field Seeds are described in this catalog on pages 60 to 70.

Prices 
In going through this catalog you 
no doubt will be impressed with the 
reasonable prices on the Vegetable 
and Flower Seeds. Regardless of the 
extreme scarcity of most items of seed, 
we are still able to sell at fair prices. 
This is possible because we operate ex¬ 
tensive farms of our own in the pro- 
duction of Vegetables and Seeds. Be- 
sides Seed Merchants, we are one of 
the Largest Growers and Shippers of 
Vegetables in the United States. 
Our Guarantee 
Our seeds, plants and nursery 
stock are sold to you with the 
express understanding that if 
they are not as represented and 
not fully satisfactory when you 
receive them, we will take them 
back and CHEERFULLY RE¬ 
FUND YOUR MONEY. But 
as there are so many outside in- J; 
fluences over which we have no 
control, such as climate, method 
of planting, care, conditions of 
soil, etc., we cannot guarantee a 
crop.
