We have probably produced during the past 40 years more cucumber seed 
than any other grower selling direct to planters. 
WE INVITE THE PLANTING OF THESE SEEDS IN COMPAR. 
ISON WITH THOSE OBTAINED FROM ANY OTHER SOURCE 
The next time you pass a really modern food store notice the 
vegetable display. This is usually given the-preferred position—right 
out in front. Decorative and enticing isn’t it; and justly deserving 
the special consideration. 
Those uniform highly colored carrots, crisp bunches of celery and 
luscious cantaloupes didn’t just happen. The tasty salad that will be 
made from that head of lettuce, those smooth, scarlet tomatoes and 
brilliant green cucumbers. represent hard work, skill, much planning 
and management on the part of dealers, transportation facilities, and 
market gardeners. 
Incidently, the market gardener found it necessary to plant mod- 
ern, well bred seed in order to grow the first CIES, meorm produce 
that brings top market prices. 
Truly our industry has kept pace with others. 
Then how about flowers? Take the zinnias for instance—they 
used to call them old maids—small, single, and mostly orange or 
magenta in color. But look at them now; some of the new sorts 
compete for the show place in the florists window, where the carna- 
tions and big yellow chrysanthemums used to belong. 
Asters of a generation ago would look out of place compared to 
the fine strains available today. In fact, in some gardens only the 
new resistant strains could survive the diseased soil. 
Seed is the basis of agriculture and good seed is important because 
it determines to a large extent both the quality and yield. 
We are determined that seed bearing the name of ‘Burrell’ shall 
be “AS GOOD AS GROW FOR YOU TO SOW.” Plant them in your 
den.
