Burpee-Quality  Vegetable  Seed 

Tested  and  Proved  at  Fordhook  Farms 

The  actual  economy  in  paying  a fair  price  for  seeds  of  known  quality  and  the  reliability  of 
Burpee’s  Seeds  are  two  facts  so  well  known  as  to  require  no  demonstration. 

Fordhook  Farms,  famous  the  world  over  as  America’s  largest  and  most  complete  Trial 
Grounds,  were  established  in  order  to  test  and  prove  the  quality — the  vitality  and  the 
purity — of  every  lot  of  seed  produced  and  sold  by  the  House  of  Burpee.  It  is  at  Fordhook 
Farms  also  that  we  carry  on  the  selection  and  breeding  work  necessary  to  maintain  and 
improve  our  stocks,  and  try  out  new  varieties  of  vegetables  and  flowers  before  offering 
them  to  our  customers.  Burpee’s  Sunnybrook  Farms  in  southern  New  Jersey  and  Flora- 
dale  Farms  in  California  produce  many  of  the  finest  flower  and  vegetable  seeds. 

We  exercise  every  possible  care  in  the  selection  of  stocks,  and  in  the  growing,  harvesting, 
and  curing  of  Burpee’s  Seeds.  Our  entire  effort  is  devoted  to  the  production  and  distribu- 
tion of  seeds  and  bulbs  of  the  finest  quality  only.  We  try  to  do  this  one  thing  as  well  as 
possible.  It  costs  more  to  produce  Seeds  of  the  Burpee  Quality,  but  they  are  more  than 
worth  the  extra  cost. 

Burpee’s  R^d  List  for  1920  is  a strictly  business  catalog.  We  have  not  attempted  to  give 
descriptions  to  the  vegetables  listed  in  the  following  pages  but  have  indicated  by  using  heavy 
type  those  varieties  which  we  particularly  recommend.  If  you  are,  in  any  way,  unfamiliar 
with  the  varieties  listed,  we  would  suggest  that  you  consult  BURPEE’S  ANNUAL  for  1920, 
our  Retail  Catalo'g,  which  contains  detailed  information. 

There  is  every  indication  that  this  is  going  to  be  a prosperous  season  in  the  Seed  Trade. 
Food  prices  are  high  and  the  demand  is  for  Increased  Production. 

We  will  be  pleased  to  have  your  order  and  assure  you  that  we  can  serve  you  well.  Your 
inquiries  and  orders  will  have  prompt  and  careful  attention.

THE  BURPEE  STANDARD  IN  SEEDS  is  the  highest  it  is  possible  to  attain  to-day, 
and  yet  we  aim  for  still  further  betterment.  PROGRESS  is  our  watchword! 
Planters  throughout  the  world,  whether  gardening  for  pleasure  or  profit,  soon 
learn  that  “the  best  is  the  cheapest.’’  These  three  sentences  convey  the  principal 
“reasons  why’’  the  Burpee-Business  grows  steadily  year  by  year.  Shall  we  have 
the  pleasure  of  serving  you  this  season,  or  will  you  wait  until  importuned  by  some 
traveling  salesman  to  buy  other  seeds  claimed  to  be  “just  as  good  as  BURPEE’S’’  ? 
You  may  get  as  good,  but  you  cannot  get  better  seeds  at  any  price!

Three  New  Spencers  for  1920 


The  first  Spencer  Sweet  Pea  in  existence,  brought  to  America  by  W.  Atlee  Burpee,  created  a 
new  era  for  this  beautiful  flower.  As  far  back  as  1887  we  began  to  specialize  in  Sweet  Peas, 
and  today’s  list  shows  that  most  of  the  leading  varieties  originated  with  or  were  first  intro- 
duced to  American  gardens  by  the  W.  Atlee  Burpee  Co.  In  late  years  special  pains  have  been 
taken  not  only  in  developing  new  colors  and  shades,  but  also  in  breeding  varieties  with  larger 

and  more  perfect  flowers.  We  are  for- 
tunate to  have  for  1920  introduction 
^ a three  varieties  which  we  feel  will  be 

) J welcomed  by  American  flower-lovers. 


Hawlmark  Pink 
New  Spencer 
Sweet  Pea  for  1920 


3477  Hawlmark  Pink 

The  Sweet  Pea  of  the  year.  We  think 
Hawlmark  Pink  is  one  of  the  finest 
varieties  we  have  ever  had 
the  good  fortune  to  offer. 
It  originated  with  our  friend 
Mr.  Hugh  Dickson,  of 
Belfast,  the  noted  Sweet 
Pea  expert.  To  the 
Sweet  Pea  enthusiast  the 
source  of  origin  is  sufficient  guarantee 
for  outstanding  merits. 

The  standard  is  clear  salmon  pink,  the  wings  almost 
rose-pink.  The  flowers  are  really  superb  in  size  and 
texture,  with  the  standard  attractively  waved.  The 
long  stems  are  strong  but  graceful,  carrying  four  and 
even  five  blooms  to  a stalk,  all  elegantly  placed. 

In  sealed  packets  containing  12  seeds 
each.  Pkt.  35  cts.,  postpaid. 

3439  Daisybud 

A lovely  novelty  of  delicate  and 
soft  appearance.  The  color  of 
the  flowers  is  a harmonious  com- 
bination of  apple-blossom  tints 
with  the  suggestion  of  cream- 
pink.  The  texture  of  the  flower 
is  substantial  but  dainty.  Wher- 
ever the  variety  was  exhibited  it 
was  the  object  of  much  admiration. 
The  flowers  are  well  formed  and  of 
largest  size,  carried  four  on  a stem 
and  well  displayed. 

In  sealed  packets  containing  12  seeds 
each.  Pkt.  25  cts.,  postpaid. 

3427  Brocade 

A unique  novelty  of  most  charming  color,  or  rather 
combinations  of  color.  It  is  a mixture  of  salmon, 
rosy  lavender,  and  rose-pink,  with  a satiny  finish. 

The  flowers  are  large  and  finely  formed  on  strong 
stems. 

In  sealed  packets  containing  12  seeds  each. 

Pkt.  25  cts.,  postpaid. 


The  Burpee  Novelties  of  the  Early  or  Winter-Flowering 
Spencer  Sweet  Peas  are  listed  on  pages  26-28.

Standard  or  Summer-Flowering 
Spencer  Sweet  Peas 

We  offer  re-selected  stocks — grown  at  Floradale  Farms.  Sweet  Peas  were  a very  short  crop 
this  past  season  and  this  together  with  increased  expenses  of  growing  has  made  all  Sweet  Peas 
very  high-priced.  However,  we  shall  endeavor  to  take  care  of  all  our  customers  but  advise 
ordering  early  to  avoid  disappointment.

Concerning  GRANDIFLORA  SWEET  PEAS,  the  introduction  of  the  many  new  and  improved 
Spencer  Sweet  Peas,  particularly  the  Fordhook  strains  of  Early-Flowering  Spencers,  has 
steadily  restricted  the  demand  for  the  old  and  less  desirable  Grandiflora  type.  Progressive 
growers  are  no  longer  using  Grandiflora  sorts.  We  discontinued  growing  them  at  Floradale 
Farms  some  time  ago  and  have  now  decided  to  stop  listing  them  in  our  catalogs.  The  Spencer 
Sweet  Peas  are  much  better  in  every  way.

The  Winter-Flowering  Spencer  Sweet  Peas  are  the  Sweet  Peas  for  Florists.  They  are  inval- 
uable for  greenhouse  culture,  blooming  to  perfection  when  grown  indoors  and  coming  into 
flower  by  Christmas  if  sown  the  first  part  of  September,  and  may  be  had  all  winter  long  from 
succession  plantings. 

The  Burpee  varieties  of  Winter-Flowering  Spencers  are  the  result  of  more  than  ten  years’  care- 
ful scientific  work.  After  the  introduction  of  that  magnificent  Australian  variety,  “ Yarrawa,” 
we  began  to  cross  it  with  the  finest  varieties  of  Burpee’s  Summer-Flowering  Spencers  for  the 
purpose  of  breeding  a complete  race  of  improved  Early-Flowering  Sweet  Peas. 

The  results  have  surpassed  all  expectations.  We  are  now  able  to  offer  true  Winter-Flowering 
Spencer  Sweet  Peas  in  every  desirable  shade.  And,  what  is  of  prime  importance  to  florists, 
our  stocks  come  true  to  color.  We  have  not  offered  a variety  to  our  customers  until  we  were 
sure  it  would  give  satisfaction. 

We  could  write  pages  of  description  and  recommendation  for  the  Burpee  Winter-Flowering 
Spencers  but  this  is  a business  catalog  and  our  space  is  limited.

Flower  Seed  Crops  at  Floradale  Farms,  California 


Burpee-Quality  Flower  Seeds 

Flower  seeds  of  the  finest  varieties  and  highest  quality  have  always  been  a specialty 
with  Burpee.  Floradale  Farms  have  come  to  be  known  as  the  California  Home  of  Flowers 
and,  in  addition  to  the  large  areas  devoted  there  to  the  production  of  flower  seeds  we  grow 
annually  many  acres  of  flowers  at  Fordhook  Farms  in  Pennsylvania  and  Sunnybrook 
Farms  in  New  Jersey. 

Our  stocks  of  Antirrhinums,  Asters,  Calendulas,  Centaureas,  Celosias,  Perennial  Chrysanthe- 
mums, Cosmos,  Gaillardia,  Mignonettes,  Pansies  and  Stocks,  as  well  as  the  finer  seeds  such 
as  Begonias,  Coleus,  Geraniums,  Heliotrope,  etc.,  are  worthy  of  particular  attention.  We 
know  from  the  comparative  trials  of  flower  seeds  from  all  parts  of  the  world,  which  we  make 
at  Fordhook  Farms  each  year,  that  all  of  our  flower  seeds  are  the  best  that  can  be 
grown. 

In  the  list  below  we  have  not  attempted  to  give  descriptions,  for  this*is  primarily  a Business 
Catalog.  Burpee’s  Annual  for  1920,  our  retail  catalog,  gives  detailed  information  and  com- 
plete descriptions,  and  if  any  further  particulars  are  desired,  we  shall  be  glad  to  answer  inquiries 
promptly  and  fully. 

Wherever  pound  prices  are  quoted,  half-pounds  will  be  supplied  at  the  pound  price,  and 
quarter-pounds  at  T37  the  pound  price.  Half-ounces  at  the  ounce  rate,  except  that  we  will 
not  supply  less  than  one  ounce  of  varieties  priced  at  20  cts.  or  less  per  ounce.

Flowering  Bulbs  and  Roots 

The  Florist,  as  well  as  the  Landscape  Gardener,  will  find  much  of  interest  in  the  following  lists. 
Burpee’s  Bulbs  are  selected  with  the  same  care  and  attention  to  Quality  as  are  Burpee’s  Seeds. 
All  of  the  bulbs  and  roots  offered  herein  are  first  size  (unless  otherwise  stated),  sound  and 
healthy,  and  sure  to  bloom  if  given  reasonable  care. 

We  take  particular  pains  in  specially  packing  bulbs  and  roots  to  ensure  their  arrival  in  good 
condition  and,  for  this  reason,  always  ship  bulbs  separately  from  seeds  when  both  are  ordered. 
When  placing  your  order  specify  when  and  how  you  wish  your  bulbs  to  be  sent.  We  do  not 
ship  in  freezing  weather  unless  ordered  to  do  so  and  then  only  at  customer’s  risk. 

Our  collections  of  Dahlias  and  Gladioli  are  especially  worthy  of  attention.  Our  list  of  Cannas 
and  Iris  are  not  extensive  but  are  carefully  selected  and  comprise  the  best  varieties  for  all 
purposes;  in  fact,  it  has  been  our  aim  throughout  to  offer  Quality  rather  than  Quantity. 
Refer  to  Burpee’s  Annual  for  1920,  our  retail  catalog,  for  complete  descriptions. 

If  you  are  interested  in  Tulips,  Hyacinths,  Narcissus,  Crocus,  or  Hardy  Perennials,  send  in 
your  name  now  to  receive  a copy  of  Burpee’s  Fall  Bulb  Catalog  (issued  September  1st). 

Note:  Three  or  more  bulbs. will  be  supplied  at  the  dozen  rates,  25  or  more  at  the  100  rates,  and  250  or 
more  at  the  thousand  rates.
