W. Atlee Burpee & Co., 
Philadelphia, Pa.,

Dear Sirs,

Our Burpee garden, 36'x30', through intensive feeding, cultivation and planting yields most of the summer vegetables for a family of eight besides much for winter and fifty quarts to can. 

We plant successively and closely, interspersing with regard to shading, and remove plants rapidly.

In this way we have or had ten rows of white evergreen corn; four each of Alaska peas, Golden Bantam corn, celery and spinach; two each of onions, string beans, and beets/ one each of bush lima and tomato.

lettuce, carrots, parsnips, celery and flower seedlings, and turnips all claimed space.

Yours truly
Mrs. Wm. W. Betts 
Chadds Ford, Pa.
