Are You Selling Them? 
If not, you are missing a wonderful opportunity to make money 
Burpee’s Quality Seeds are grown from specially selected 
stocks for the best retail, florist and market gardener trade. 
When we grow seeds for our own critical retail trade, it is 
very easy to grow somewhat larger quantities and to offer 
Seedsmen and Dealers these same High Quality Seeds at very 
moderate wholesale prices. Burpee dealers sell enormous 
quantities annually. Look at the prices quoted and com¬ 
pare them with the retail prices you will get. Allow us to 
serve you on Merit; allow us to sell you seeds to your Profit. 
This Book, Known as Burpee’s Red List 
is for the exclusive use of Seedsmen and Dealers who sell seeds and 
are therefore 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 seedsman or dealer, 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. Sell 
Burpee’s Tested Seeds—you can rely on them—they are the Best 
Seeds That Grow. 
Order Early 
Some seed crops are short this year; these include varieties of 
Carrots, Peas, Watermelons and a few other vegetables. We suggest 
you cover on your requirements of all seeds as soon as possible. 
Quick Service 
The Burpee Buildings are especially equipped to properly and 
quickly fill your orders, most of which are shipped the same day 
they are received. If you have not depended upon Burpee for your 
annual supply of seeds, do so this year; a trial order will be appre¬ 
ciated. It is our purpose to serve you so well, and at so low a cost, 
that you will never again handle any other seeds except Burpee’s.
