Dear Sirs:
 What Burpee's seeds have done for me is a difficult question to answer as the benefits I have received from them are so numerous it would be impossible for me to enumerate them all within the pages of a letter.
 Of the many things which I count as profit received from my work in the garden I do not hesitate to name better health as the greatest one.  I am a schoolteacher and was so nervous this spring from work and worry that I could hardly sleep nights.  I have spent a god share of my vacation working out in the garden and I feel like a new person now.  I am as brown as an Indian and am fast asleep as soon as my head touches the pillow.
 I think one of the best things about Burpee's seeds is their quality and trueness to type.  In planting them you always feel sure of getting whoat you planted not celery when you planted portulaca as was the case with some seeds I once planted.
