gardening is on the increase, for gardeners realize that both vegetables and flowers 
are essential to good living. 
For many years Burpee has been creating new and better vegetables and 
flowers for your garden. Since 1876 Burpee has introduced in America more im- 
proved new varieties:that are now in general cultivation than has any other seeds- 
man. On the pages of this catalog you will find the new and better Burpee flowers 
and vegetables, many of which cannot be purchased elsewhere. 
We are proud of the contribution we are making to better living through better 
gardens. We are indeed proud of the gardens our customers grow from Burpee Seeds. 
That we may help you have a better garden each year is our earnest wish. We 
never stop thinking about your garden and the gardens of a million others who plant
