Effective December 1, 1938, all invoices for purchases will be charged at the prices quoted 
in this Burpee Blue List, unless Special Offers are made by letter or telegram and referred 
to when the order is placed. 
We expect to adhere throughout the winter and spring to the prices quoted herein, unless 
some causes beyond our control require a change, in which case we shall be governed by 
the market. All goods are offered subject to prior sale, and we reserve the right to change 
prices without notice if it should become necessary. 
Credit and Terms of Payment 
Our terms are cash with order unless you have an account 
with us or are satisfactorily rated by the commercial agen¬ 
cies. To those who have accounts and others of approved

Burpee Guarantee 
We guarantee the vitality and purity of Burpee’s Seeds 
and Bulbs to the full amount of the purchase price. You 
can have your money back any time within a year if you 
are not satisfied with the results. Even with the highest 
quality seeds and bulbs, success in gardening depends largely 
upon cultivation, soil, and weather conditions. Therefore, 
in no case shall W. Atlee Burpee Co. be liable for more 
than the amount actually paid us for seeds or bulbs. All 
goods are sold under this guarantee.

U. S. or its possessions 
except where stated otherwise

Sweet Corn, Pop Corn, Peas, Rape and Sunflower Seeds, 
Asparagus Roots, Garlic Sets, Horse Radish Roots, Mush¬ 
room Spawn, Onion Sets, Peanuts, Potatoes, and Rhubarb 
Roots offered “Not Prepaid,” the purchaser pays the trans¬ 
portation charges. If such goods are wanted by Parcel Post, 
include sufficient to cover postage on cash orders. On charge 
orders, postage will be invoiced. 
If flower bulbs or roots are wanted, we will allow you a 
25% discount from the retail prices of separate varieties; 
20% discount on special bulb collection offers. Customer

Shipping Instructions 
With each order, please give complete shipping instructions 
if goods are not to be sent by parcel post. Give the name

when so directed. Practically every order is shipped the 
same day it is received. You can depend upon us to get
