‘DEAR FELLow GARDENERS: 
Seventy-two years ago, my father started 
this seed business in Philadelphia. 
Now, in order to give better service to 
those of you who live in. the central and 
western states, we also carry a complete line 
of the best seeds and bulbs at the Burpee 
Midwestern Headquarters in Clinton, Iowa. 
During recent years, on our seed farms in 
many parts of the United States, we have 
been doing more breeding and experimental 
work than ever before. Some of the most 
valuable new vegetables developed recently 
on our seed farms are the hybrid tomatoes, 
hybrid cucumber and hybrid eggplant, which 
are more productive, of better quality and 
more resistant to disease than the older 
varieties. 
In flowers, the greatest advance has been 
‘made in the Luther Burbank Zinnias and the 
Burpee Double Snapdragons, the Tetra Snap- 
dragons, Tetra Phlox, new Giant Marigolds, 
and both single and alldouble Petunias. 
Many of you who read this have planted 
Burpee Seeds year after year. I want to tell 
you how much I appreciate the confidence — 
you have shown in us for so long a time. Also, 
I wish to greet the many new customers who 
will purchase seeds from Burpee for the first 
time this year. | 
When you order from this catalog, as a 
token of friendship, I am going to send you, - 
with my compliments, seed of two of our 
finest new flowers. | 
You have my best wishes for a most suc. }._ 
cessful garden in 1948. 
Faithfully yours, 
Sand Bros) 
President “}
