Jewett News

Jewett automobiles; Hemings Motor News for May 2004 reports on the sale of two Jewett cars at

auction. The first is a 1923 touring sedan, one of about 26,000 units manufactured that year, the

second year of production of Jewett Motors inc., a subsidiary of Paige-Detroit Motor Car Co. Whose

president was Harry Mulford Jewett. The touring Model sedan was sold by Kruse Auction at its

Phoenix sale in January 2004. The car sold for $6000.00 well above the $3600 average for similar

automobiles. This was in spite of a serious oil leak from the rear main engine seal. The car s body

was yellow an black with red spoke wheels.

The second Jewett was to be auctioned off on May 22, 2004 at the Pioneer Auto Museum in Murdo,

S. D. This car was a 1925 Sedan which had undergone restoration at one time. More information

about Jewett Motors Inc.., its founder, his family and the company can be fount in The Graham

Legacy: Graham Paige to 1932, by Michael E. Keller. (This information submitted by Katherine

Washington Atlee Burpee

Burpee, Washington Atlee, seedman, was born at Sheffield, New Brunswick, Apr 6,1858, son

of David and Anne Catherine (Atlee) Burpee. On his father's side he was of Huguenot descent, the

name being originally Baupre, and on his mother's side he was descended from William Pitt, Earl

of Chatham.

He was educated at the Friends' Central School of Philadelphia, and the University of

Pennsylvania. In 1876 he left college, and opened a store in Philadelphia, in association with G. S.

Benson, Jr., dealing in seeds, pigeons and poultry. Within a year he took in a third partner. Shortly

thereafter he withdrew from the firm and started by himself under the title of W. Atlee Burpee & Co.

He was the first seedsman to make a big success of the mail order business, and he did it by sticking

absolutely to the truth in all his advertising. Backed by reliable products and progressive business

methods, the firm grew steadily until at the time of Mr. Burpee's death it had 300 employees and

handled nearly 10,000 orders daily. The keystone of this great success may be found in a few

sentences of an address delivered by Mr. Burpee to the French Federation of Seedsmen Societies

in Paris, "Quality," he said, " is long remembered after cost is forgotten. Rightly considered, that

which pays in the long-run is the struggle for improvement."

He early saw the desirability of instituting field trials for his crops. These were at first conducted

at the eastern end of Long Island, but about 1888 he purchased the big farm (Fordhook), at

Doylestown, Pa., which has since been the chief trial grounds. Later he purchased Sunnybrook, a

farm near Swedesboro, New Jersey, where the soil is favorable for the growing of special varieties

of tomatoes, egg plants, peppers, squashes and certain flower seeds. He also purchased ground at

Lompoe, California, for the special purpose of cultivating sweet peas. Large and productive as these

farms were, they raised only a small fraction of the seeds sold by W. Atlee Burpee & Co., and the

firm had contracts with growers in England, France, Germany and Holland.

The farms, however, were the scene of constant valuable experiments and produced many new

and improved varieties of flowers and vegetables. In 1890 Mr. Burpee introduced the original large

bush lima bean, which created the present popularity of large Limas, and this was succeeded by

Burpee's Improved and Fordhook which were introduced some years later.

He was also instrumental in the improvement of cabbage, sweet corn and squashes, and

introduced many notable varieties of tomatoes, culinary peas, onions, lettuces and celery. Among

flowers he was especially noted for sweet peas, in which his firm did an enormous business. Next

to them came pansies, gladioli, nasturtiums, Phlox drummondii, balsams, heliotrope, begonias,

zinnias, petunias and calendulas.

Apart from the firm of W. Atlee Burpee & Co., Mr. Burpee had many and varied interests. He

was a director of the Market Street National Bank and the Northern Trust Co., president for many

years of the American Seed Trade Association; a director of the Wholesale Seedmen's League;

member of the board of managers of the Howard Hospital and Sanitarium Association and the

39

National Farm School at Doylestown, Pa. a member of the Chamber of Commerce of Philadelphia

and the Philadelphia Board of Trade; a life member of the Transatlantic Society; president of the

Canadian Society of Philadelphia; vice president of the National Sweet Pea Society, and a life

fellow of the Royal Horticultural Society of London and the Societe Nationale Horticole, of France.

His clubs included the Union League, art, University, Racquet, City, Bachelors, Barge, Poor Richars,

Meriou Cricket and Harris, of Philadelphia; Country of Landsdowne, Pa., and the National Arts;

City and Sphinx of new York.

"Though he came to be know as a leader in his line of business,: sad the Philadelphia "North

American" editorially, "his finest achievement was the cultivation of a nature so thoughtful for

others, whatever their place or portion, that every one who came within his radiance was warmed

by it and in some measure inspired to kindlier thinking and doing. . . . His largest pleasure seemed

to lie in making others happy and comfortable and safe."

Mr. Burpee was married April 30, 1892 to Blanche, daughter of Peter B. Simons, of

Philadelphia, Pa., and is survived by two sons: David and Washington Atlee, Jr. He died at

Fordhook, Doylestown, Pa., Nov 26,1915.

It was of interest to me that no mention of a 3rd son, Stuart who was born in 1902, listed in the

1910 census as son. Stuart was most likely retarded as he was listed in 1930, age 28 at the Bancroft

Training School as feeble minded. I think it was common in that time to not mention such a

condition as it was a source of shame for the family.1

David Burpee

David Burpee was born in 1893 and when his father, W. Atlee Burpee died, David dropped out

of Cornell University at the age of 22 and took over the family business.

While his father's main area of interest was vegetables, David was interested in flowers. World

War I cut off over seas seed supplies and caused food shortages in the United States. David began

a (War Gardens) campaign, that formed the basis for the Victory Gardens campaign during World

War II. These programs were generally aimed at city and suburban people and taught them how to

grow food during shortages caused by wartime.

In the 1930's the company began cross-breeding to produce hybrids that were healthier and more

resistant to disease. The Big Boy tomato was developed during this time, along with the Ambrosia

cantaloupe, as well as new kinds of petunias, nasturtiums, and red and gold marigolds. In the 1940s

the company created new forms of flowers by altering their chromosome structure with a chemical

called colchicine. This led to varieties Bright Scarlet and Rosabel snapdragons and Ruffled Jumbo

Scarlet zinnia.

In 1970, David Burpee sold his company to General Foods. In 1979 the company passed to ITT.

David Burpee remained as a consultant until his death in 1980. In 1991 the Burpee company was

acquired by George J. Ball, Inc., a diversified horticultural family business.

Jonathan Burpee, the founder's grandson, was the last family member to work for the company.

He left the company in 1993.

The National Cyclopedia of American Biography V16 p 286-287.

Burpee, David, seed merchant, was born in Philadelphia, Pa., Apr 5, 1893 son of Washington

Atlee Burpee and Blanche (Simons) Burpee. He was educated at Blight School, Philadelphia, the

Doylestown High School, and the Culver Military Academy, and subsequently pursued a course at

the Agricultural College of Cornell University. He was obliged to leave before finishing his course

on account of his father's illness and at once became identified with the Burpee business. Upon the

death of his father, in 1915, he became head of the firm of W. Atlee Burpee & Co. He has achieved

remarkable success in the conduct of the company's affairs, displaying unusual executive ability,

wisdom and business acumen.

He is not only a close student of horticulture and agriculture, but is also a true devotee of

science. The firm has large farms in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and California. At Fordhood Farms,

Pa., more than twenty two thousand tests are made annually to prove the quality of their seeds.

Floradale Farms are recognized as the the California home of sweet peas. Many years ago when the

Spencer type of sweet pea was discovered in England, the company first imported it to this country

and since then has continued to develop that new type of flower, recognized as the leader both in

America and England.

In 1916, when food panics threatened many large cities because of conditions due to the war,

the company established demonstration war gardens in various cities of the East, where people were

taught how to produce food in their own back-yards. As a result the business has almost doubled

and they are continuing to give this same real service on even a larger scale. Because of the

impossibility to import any bulbs from Holland after America entered the war, many firs

discontinued the bulb business. When the embargo seemed likely, the Burpee company at once

made preparations to handle from and exclusive source large quantities of Dutch bulbs, American

grown. A large edition of a special catalog was distributed, and American bulbs of the finest quality

are now being sold at a price even lower that the original bulbs from Holland. It is exclusively a

mail order house and issues a million catalogs yearly.

41

Its enormous business, with headquarters in Philadelphia, is handled in a series of buildings

containing the most modern equipment for the handling, cleaning and packing of seeds. More than

400 men and women are employed during the spring months when upwards of 20,000 letters are

received daily. As a hobby Mr. Burpee conducts na immense farming enterprise of his own. On the

Castle Valley Farms near Doylestown, Pa., he has 8,000 peach trees in prime condition.

Mr. Burpee is vice-president of the American Seed Trade Association, and a director of the

Market Street National Bank of Philadelphia; The Bucks County Trust Co., of Doylestown;

Broomfield & Co., Inc., of New York; the National farm School of Pennsylvania; the Canadian

Society of Philadelphia, and the Howard Hospital of Philadelphia. His is a member of the American

Sweet Pea society, the Society of American Florists, the National Sweet Pea Society of Great

Britain, the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, the American Dahlia Society, Societe Nationale

d'Horticulture of France (life member), the American Forestry Association, the National Association
