What Burpee's Seeds Have Done For Me.

My garden has been to me a pleasure which I  would not be without. It has  made a pretty place of what otherwise would be a rank growth of weeds and an eyesore. It has given me a chance to go outdoors every day to exercise and I do not have to "doll up" My three ^[[year]] old son trys to do everything that I do and he can name every plant in the garden as it is pointed out to him. He can tell the  difference between good plants and weeds and it helps him out of mischief.

For the little sum which I pay for goods Burpee seeds I get a very good profit and who does not like fresh vegetables direct from the garden? Every day son and I go out to see if any new shoots have sprung from the ground. I would sum up the benefits of my garden in this way: health,pleasure, exercise money saved , better vegetables and a valuable lesson to my son on the beauties of Nature  and all growing things which I could not teach him otherwise.
