Excerpt from Wholesale Price-List, 1897: Burpee's Garden, Farm, and Flower Seeds Dealers who desire to build up a permanent trade should pay no attention to the cut prices, which would seem to indicate (to the inexperienced) that seeds have no intrinsic value whatever. Because of several bankrupt stocks thrown on the market together with the fact that many crops grown without proper selection (largely for firms that have failed disastrously the past season) are offered at any price, the seed trade this season seems to have become largely demoralized. A reaction is sure to follow. Good seeds cannot be handled at a living profit for less than the prices quoted herein. While we do not seek large profits, yet we are not in the business solely for pleasure. Burpee's seeds are the most Widely advertised and among the most popular with American planters. By comparison of the prices quoted in our market gardeners' list, sent herewith, intelligent dealers will readily see that they can make a good margin of profit by handling burpee's seeds, and at the same time build up a paying business.
