Burpee vegetable experts 
have made a special study 
of Tomatoes. In-this pic-

Burpee’s Floradale Farms 
in California have been 
found well - suited to the 
production of Cauliflower 
seed formerly grown 
abroad. Below is a grow- 
ing field which has now 
been harvested for 1942 
delivery.

and water transportation facilities. Carload shipments 
are loaded on the private siding. 
Burpee’s Seeds 
EARLY, many thousands of acres are planted from 
Burpee’s special stocks of vegetable seeds, in the 
soils and climates best suited for the harvest of plump, 
virile, disease-free seeds that will bring profitable crops 
to your customers. 
Even before the complete stoppage of vegetable seeds formerly 
grown abroad, Burpee vegetable experts were checking the possi- 
bilities of increasing the production of Burpee’s vegetable seeds 
to include these crops. Consequently, new acreages were added 
to the extensive Burpee vegetable plantings last spring; the 
Cauliflower seed harvest on Burpee’s Floradale Farms in Cali- 
fornia last fall is a timely example—the quality of which we 
believe to be just as good as the best Danish seed we ever handled. 
Sixty-Five Years of Service 
For sixty-five years, seédsmen and dealers have been sell- 
ing Burpee’s seeds. In the coast-to-coast seed-production 
operations of the W. Atlee Burpee Co., no expense is spared 
in carefully growing and testing the best varieties of both 
flower and vegetables to maintain the highest quality, uni- 
formity and germination for the entire satisfaction of you 
and your customers—whether you buy in bulk, or packaged 
under the Burpee brand to take advantage of the extensive 
national advertising and publicity that has made the Burpee 
name a household word among the gardeners of America. 
Burpee’s Fordhook Farms in Pennsylvania are the most 
famous seed-breeding and testing farms in the world; many 
leading vegetables bear the name of Burpee or Fordhook. 
Because of conditions well-known in the trade, it is 
especially advantageous to cover all requirements as early 
as possible this year. 
You have our assur- 
ance to meet your
