Burpee’s FORDHOOK FARMS 
Fordhook is the best known seed farm in the world. It was 
founded before the United States Government had any 
experiment stations. Here all varieties of vegetables and 
flowers are tested. Some of our favorite vegetables carry 
the name Fordhook. Our friends and fellow gardeners are 
always welcome at Fordhook and Floradale.

Fordhook Farms are given to school children and the people 
of Doylestown for use as their own Victory Gardens.

Because of the labor shortage twenty-two 
college girls helped us with the hoeing

along without them.
