Burpee's S 
THIRTY years ago, in seeking the ideal soil and climate 
for growing Burpee’s Sweet Peas, the great flower-seed 
producing area was discovered which today is so well 
known as Burpee’s Floradale Seed Farms. What was then 
recognized as unsurpassed for the production of Sweet 
Peas has been found to be the finest flower seed produc- 
ing section in the entire world. Deep alluvial soil, long 
season and sunny harvest unite to yield plump, full-of- 
vitality seeds with the extra vigor that spells dependability. 
Here at Floradale Farms in California, at Burpee’s Fordhook 
Farms in Pennsylvania and in other areas suited to the needs of 
special projects, under the inspiration and direction of David 
Burpee there has devolved the most extensive flower development 
program in the world. 
Old Varieties Improved, 
New Varieties Introduced 
As a result of this intensive, widespread and constant effort, from 
year to year there has been a continual procession of Burpee Novel- 
ties of merit, and marked improvement in many universally popular 
classes and strains—Giant Ruffled Sweet Peas, Hybrid Nasturtiums, 
Marigolds with odorless foliage, Salmon Supreme Petunia, Cream 
Star Petunia, Cupid Zinnias, David Burpee Zinnias, Golden Rod 
Snapdragon, Asters, Larkspur, Calendulas, Yellow Cosmos, etc. 
For the latest and best, as well as most dependable stocks of all 
leading flowers and vegetables, also the unusual—send your want
