Building nearer to you, 
Dear Fellow Gardeners: 
Your hobby or your business is tilling the soil. People everywhere 
have come to realize that this is the most essential of all human 
endeavors. But even now it may be impossible to produce enough 
food to prevent hunger in many parts of the world. 
I hope that you will grow as many vegetables as you can this year. 
We have been doing everything we can to help you to grow better 
vegetables. The hybrids we have created in the past few years will 
‘be of great benefit to every vegetable grower. They are of the best 
quality and produce more on every plant and on every square foot 
of ground—and they are more resistant to disease. Then, too, there 
are listed in this seed catalog many other new varieties of improved 
vigor and quality. 
Flowers have their value always, either in war or in peace, 
for they are morale builders. 
This year we offer you a larger selection including a number of 
new flowers of unusual beauty—-the new Double Snapdragons on 
the front cover, the new Tetra Red Phlox, new Alidouble Petunias, - 
new Sweet Peas, new Marigolds, and many others. 
When you plant Burpee seeds you can rest assured that you are 
starting with the best and with proper care and favorable weather 
conditions, you should have a most successful garden. 
Each year we look forward to supplying you with the best seeds 
that grow. 
Faithfully yours, 
President
