eon tf-tuesidl: 
Effective July 1, 1941, all invoices for purchases will 
be charged at the prices quoted in this book, unless 
Special Offers are made by letter or telegram and re¬ 
ferred to when the order is placed. We expect to ad¬ 
here throughout the fall to the prices quoted herein, un¬ 
less 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. 
Unsettled conditions throughout the world make it 
impossible to import those varieties of flower seeds we 
usually get from abroad. On some, our supply was 
sold out the past spring, making it necessary to omit 
them from this book. We are listing such varieties of 
which we believe we have sufficient seed for fall re¬ 
quirements, but as growers in many countries cannot 
obtain their needs from Europe, they are buying from 
America, thereby further depleting the supply. 
Of course, we grow on our own farms many varieties 
of flower seeds. Production costs are starting to go 
up; it may be that we will not be able to maintain 
these low prices indefinitely. We suggest you cover 
on your requirements of all seeds as soon as possible. 
Faithfully yours, 
BURPEE GUARANTEE 
We guarantee the vitality and pur¬ 
ity 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 Burpee Guarantee. 
BURPEE SERVICE 
We realize that service to our cus¬ 
tomers is fully as important as qual¬ 
ity. The Burpee Buildings are espe¬ 
cially equipped to properly and quickly 
fill your orders, nearly every one of 
which is shipped the same day it 
reaches us. 
If you have not depended upon 
Burpee for your supply of seeds, do 
so this year; a trial order will be ap¬ 
preciated. It is our purpose to serve 
you so well, and at so low a cost, that 
you will never again sow any other 
iseeds except Burpee’s. 
FREE DELIVERY 
Everything offered in this Catalog 
will be delivered anywhere in the 
U. S. or its possessions Prepaid at the
