[[underline]]WHAT BURPEE'S SEEDS HAVE DONE FOR ME[[/underline]].

A sudden change in affairs that transfers one from the city to the country when snow is still knee deep. Four miles from civilization. Mail delivered once a day. "Some are born [[underline]]great[[/underline]], some achieve greatness, some have [[underline]]greatness[[/underline]] thrust upon them, so upon this particular occasion it seemed [[underline]]greatness[[/underline]] was thrust upon me, for here in this isolated place I found a [[underline]]BURPEE CATALOG[[/underline]]. I read and reread until it seemed as if I knew every word that was in it, and the pictures made a vivid impression. I kept on thinking and planning, thus forgetting my loneliness and homesickness. [[underline]]THE BURPEE CATALOG[[/underline]] was not a new one to me for we had it in our home when I was a child, and it seemed just like an old friend. It always saves time and expense to deal with reliable people so I did not hesitate to send for seeds.  Both vegetable and flower gardens were a success and I was [[underline]]Well and Happy[[/underline]].  Study the CATALOG(BURPEE'S) during the winter, send for the seeds and plant, watch for results.  SEEDS may give you pleasure, seeds may give you wealth, but no greater blessing than when they give you health.
