The Original Flower Seed Farm of the Famous 
Lompoc Valley 
W. Atlee Burpee established Floradale Farms especially to grow Sweet 
Peas. We later found out that the soil and the cli¬ 
mate were almost ideal for growing nearly every 
variety of Flower Seeds. At Lompoc we 
have cold summers and the seed develops 
unusual vitality and strength. We are 
now growing hundreds of acres of 
flowers for Seed at Floradale. The 
Seed is harvested and shipped to 
Philadelphia by the carload. When 
you order Burpee’s Flower Seeds 
from our headquarters in Philadel¬ 
phia, you are assured of getting the 
purest and strongest Seeds—the 
prize-winning Seeds that are grown
