What Burpee's Seeds Have Done for Me.

My favorite flower in childhood was the sweet pea, but it was not until I used Burpee's seed that I derived such a wealth of knowledge and pleasure from them.

Five years ago I wished to have a few flowers, and not having much time to devote to their culture, I chose the sweet pea, because of its beauty, fragrance and duration of the blooming period. Through a friend's suggestion I tried Burpee's Six Standard Spencers. Words cannot express my wonder and delight as the first buds opened. The delicate coloring, blending into such perfect flowers made one marvel at the wonders of nature. What joy and inspiration these flowers gave me!

This year my two little "flower" boys, who see beauty in the smallest wild flower, helped sow the seeds with their baby hands. Their bright eyes spied the first growth and now what pleasure they have cutting the flowers.

As years pass on the memory of their bright happy faces as they came in hiding a bouquet to surprise mother will be a lasting picture and if I have instilled in their little hearts a greater love for God and Nature, what more can I ask?
