Flower Seeds, Lawn Grass Seed 
and Vegetable Roots 
Plant Burpee's American Grown Bulbs this 
fall for beautiful flowers indoors this winter or out¬ 
doors next spring. This book offers a choice assort¬ 
ment of varieties, all of which, with the exception 
of a few Lilies, have been grown here in this country. 
It is easy to grow flowers from Burpee Bulbs. 
With each class, we give short cultural directions; 
on the bags containing the bulbs is printed complete 
information. We suggest you order your require¬ 
ments soon, for the supply of some is limited. 
Biennial and perennial flower seeds may be sown 
during the summer to furnish blooming plants for 
the following year. Sweet Pea seeds sown in the fall 
produce earlier and freer blooming plants than 
spring sowings; this is also true of some annuals, 
such as Larkspurs, Cornflowers and California Pop¬ 
pies. In this little book we offer a choice selection 
of all these seeds along with Lawn Grass seed and 
vegetable roots. Your orders, large or small, are 
assured of our best attention. You can rely on 
Burpee for the Best Seeds and Bulbs that grow.

ORDER EARLY Bulbs ordered be¬ 
fore they are ready to send out will 
be booked for delivery and orders 
filled, in rotation as received, as 
quickly as possible after the bulbs 
reach us from our growers. All 
bulbs, with just a few exceptions, 
are ready for delivery after the 
middle of September, and all 
hardy varieties can be planted out¬ 
doors any time from then on until 
the ground freezes hard. Daffodils, 
however, will do better if planted 
before the ground freezes.
