FORDHOOK FARMS, PENNSYLVANIA x FLORADALE FARMS, CALIFORNIA 
If there is any farm more famous than all other farms in 
the world, it is Burpee’s Fordhook, near Philadelphia 
in Pennsylvania. This experimental farm was founded 
by W. Atlee Burpee before the United States Govern- 
ment had any experiment stations. The next most 
famous and best known farm in the entire world is 
probably Floradale, near Santa Barbara, Califor- 
nia. Just a few views of parts of these two farms 
are pictured on this page. Visitors are always 
welcome, especially in summer-time. 

















On Fordhook Farms at Doylestown, near Philadelphia, this section is 
devoted to Victory vegetable gardens for the school children under the 
guidance of one of the Burpee vegetable experts. 
Our vegetable experts, Condit and Pride, are carefully 
examining and making notes of the table beet trials on 
Burpee’s Floradale Farms in California.
