Results obtained from Burpee seeds.

Although we had a remarkably hot, dry season, the seeds all grew, and germinated unusually well. Often in our clay soil here, seeds of ordinary kinds fail to come up, but your Guenely Parsnip, Mammoth Salsify and King of Denmark Spinach came through nicely; when I did not expect they could. The latter variety I had never before seen , and find it a wonderful acquisition to my garden plants. They way it thrives and withstands hot , dry weather is surprising. Its long-standing quality is a great improvement over other varieties I have grown.
