Our vegetable experts, Condit and Pride, are carefully 
examining and making notes of the table beet trials on 
Burpee's Floradale Farms in California.

All kinds of flowers that grow from seed are tested each 
year for both germination and purity. The above picture 
shows only a small section of the Fordhook trials. 
















Many years ago we were convinced that Germany planned 
another war for world conquest. To do our part we started in 
to train women to raise vegetable seeds on Floradale. These 
women are harvesting leek seed.

Seeds 
For sixty-six years, seedsmen and dealers have been selling 
Burpee’s seeds. In the coast-to-coast seed-production operations 
of the W. Atlee Burpee Co. using many thousands of acres, no 
expense is spared in carefully growing and testing the best 
varieties of both flowers and vegetables to maintain the highest 
quality, uniformity 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 Pennsyl- 
vania are the most 
famous seed-breeding 
and testing farms in 
the world; they were 
founded by W. Atlee 
Burpee before the 
U. S. Government 
had any experiment 
stations. Many lead- 
ing vegetables bear 
the name of Burpee 
or Fordhook. 
Because of the tremen- 
dous demand we urge 
you to cover on all re- 
quirements as early as 
possible!

voted to vegetables.

located, convenient to both rail and
