Dear friends of the Burpee Co.,

Burpee is a name associated with some of the happiest memories of my childhood -hours spent with a dear neighbor woman among her flowers. She told me many times that she always planted Burpee's seeds as they were sure to grow and produce more beautiful flowers.

As I grew older I sent for your catalog and have proved the truth of her statements with both flowers and vegetables.

Life on a large fruit farm means busy Summer days but we always find time for a few flowers about the lawn and borders We feel they make home more attractive and cheery- not only to us but we often over hear remarks made by tourists in passing.

The vegetable garden means a great deal to us- in pleasure and profit. It is our main reliance for the table supplies. In fact it means pleasure, profit, and health , for there we can watch plant development, see the reward
