Nese Friends: 
On the following pages are listed Burpee’s Seeds, tested at our 
world famous Fordhook and Floradale Farms and grown under our 
own careful supervision at our growing stations. Hundreds of the 
varieties listed originated on the Burpee farms during our 69 years of 
service to seedsmen and dealers. They are the Best Seeds That Grow. 
The Victory garden program has created a permanent demand 
for vegetable seeds from amateur gardeners who have enjoyed 
garden fresh vegetables for the first time and who have had the 
satisfaction of caring for growing plants. The market for vegetable 
seeds will continue strong, and the demand for flower seeds is show- 
ing a great increase. 
We are prepared to give you prompt service from either of our two 
buildings; Philadelphia, Pa. or Clinton, Iowa, whichever is nearer you. 
We have always endeavored to keep our prices as low as pos- 
sible, consistent, of course, with the care and vigilance necessary to 
produce the best seeds. This year, at a time when most prices are 
rising, we have been able to lower many of our prices because of 
increased acreages and more efficient operations. | 
Be ready for your early seed buyers by placing your order with 
us, now! 
Faithfully yours, 
Ord Queyud 
President
