Many years experience has taught me, that, true economy demands of the farmer or gardener, the selection of the very best seed obtainable, and that Burpee's seed are second to none.

When I plant Burpee's seed I Know that a partial crop failure is due either to unfavorable weather conditions, or my own negligence.

Results show that Burpee's thoroughly tested seed is the most economical regardless of cost, and that is never excessive.  [[date stamp - Aug 13 1924]]

No seed house has furnished more varieties of sterling worth, or eliminated more varieties of doubtful quality, than the house of Burpee.

Grown under climatic conditions most favorable to perfect development of different varieties, Burpee's seed show by their vigor and productiveness of the resulting crops, that experiments covering many years, must have been conducted to determine best localities and soils.

The house of Burpee has taught me, that I may expect in purchasing seed from them, full value for money expended, varieties that come true to name, vitality guaranteed, and quality unsurpassed.

A good house to tie to, for it is founded on the rock of absolute reliability; the only sure foundation for a great and successful business.
