"What Burpee's Seeds have done for me"

As a lad one of my pleasures was to "brag" about "Dads Garden". Also my mothers flower garden, which was under my personal care,and, was very gratifying as nothing more beautiful could be found in the neighborhood.

There I developed a love for flowers which has been a bright spot all my life.

Later, when I had a home of my own I always had that feeling uppermost and my flowers were as essential to my happiness as my garden was to my necessities.

Words can not express the pleasures I have derived from both flowers and garden all my life since to say nothing of the help they been financially bringing up my family, for, from garden and flowers my table was furnished and children clothed to a great extent.

"Burpees Seeds" have made all this possible and I am using them yet for I know that from them I am sure to derive, each season, results that are gratifying and profitable

I consider nothing has given more personal pleasures than has the use of them and the results. Burpees have helped to make of me a better man and I thank you.
