Cable Address—‘‘Burpee” Philadelphia 
Dear Friends: 
Last year you probably enjoyed one of the best seed selling seasons 
in your history. We feel that this coming season will be better even 
than last. 
Gardening has ceased to be a hobby only; it is now a necessity. 
High living costs and scarcity of essential foods have encouraged the 
starting of new gardens. New introductions and improvements in old 
varieties of vegetables have increased yields and renewed interest in 
established gardens. 
We must not forget the increasing interest in flowers. We are con- 
stantly endeavoring to stimulate this by the introduction of new varieties 
of flowers. Our national advertising has also been a great factor in this 
new interest, and you will find it very helpful in increasing your seed sales. 
In spite of rising costs we have not raised prices except where 
absolutely necessary. 
We are trying always to improve our service to you and we appre- 
ciate the opportunity of furnishing you with the Best Seeds That Grow. 
Please send your orders to Philadelphia, Pa., or Clinton, Iowa, 
whichever is nearer to you. 
Faithfully yours, 
Crd RQuyud
