BURPEES Yamous Vegetable Sceds 

Maturity Dates 
The average number of days required from the time the seed is 
sown until vegetables are ready for use is given with each variety. 
Where plants must first be grown, such as Celery, Cabbage, Pep- 
pers, Tomatoes, etc., the number of days to maturity is from the 
time plants are set in the garden. Of course, the time is average, 
having been obtained over a period of years in our trial grounds 
under different conditions; some variation is to be expected, de- 
pending on the season, locality and time of sowing. The approxi- 
mate maturity dates given will show the relative time when differ- 
ent varieties will be ready to use. 
© Follow the Buil’s Eye © 
We have used this mark, ©, for years to guide the gardener in 
the selection of vegetable varieties which we believe will give the 
best results under varied conditions of soil and climate. This 
mark, ©, usually called a bull’s eye, was used by the ancient 
alchemists to represent gold. It therefore is most appropriate for 
indicating the varieties which we consider the best of their class. 
If you are not thoroughly posted which varieties to choose as the 
most suitable for your particular section, we suggest that you make 
your selection from those marked with the bull’s eye. They have 
been found most satisfactory throughout the country.
