Image description

A key to W. Atlee Burpee’s business was the 1863 free delivery system, which required post offices to deliver mail to residents’ homes, and in 1896, free delivery was extended to rural areas. This allowed his catalogs to be delivered directly to people’s homes. Thousands of letters were received annually from Burpee’s customers thanking him for his seeds.
