Order Early Please 
The war has caused Seed Houses throughout the 
world that normally obtained their requirements 
from Europe, to call upon this country for their 
supplies of seed. This, coupled with partial crop 
failures in Carrots, Onions, Peas, etc., has caused 
a seed shortage that is very serious. Won’t you 
help us serve you by sending in your order as 
quickly 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

give you quick service and the Best Seeds at the
