Sirs:-

In Burpees' Annual Catalogue page one hundred twenty two
are pictured in lovely colors giant snap-dragons that are new
I had the small variety but was not satisfied
And on the giant orchid I did finally decide
The seed was started in the house and as early as was wise
I transplanted to the yard as they were of proper size.
An ardent flower-lover is a woman neighbor of mine
And she bought a friend to see them 
she thought they were just fine
My "Annual" then she borrowed-showed it round among her friends and I'm quite sure that through my flowers your acquaintance now extends

Respectfully 
Miss May Davis
