I do not know about Burpee-but operations like Wal-Mart are killing the 
bedding plant business for growers.  The big chains want to pay as low a 
price as they can-and when growers start doing business with them they last a 
few years before they find out that they are loosing money and drop them or 
go out of business.

I do not get the trade journals any more-but the last few years that I did, 
the biggest problems were do to the large chain stores killing off the 
wholesalers because of the cheep contracts that they demanded.

Like I said at the beginning- I do not know if this has any thing to do with 
Burpee.
