Aug. 1, 1924. W. Atlee Burpee Seed Growers. Philadelphia, Pa. Gentlemen: I derived both pleasure and profit from planting Burpee's seeds. I have been gardening for years. This yearI had the best vegetables and the most beautiful flowers I ever grew. The pleasure derived, is having fresh, crisp, just-picked, succulent vegetables every day for your table, vegetables with a flavor you never get in the stale stuff your grocer furnishes you. Furthermore there is a keen satisfaction in watching the quick, sturdy, steady growth that Burpee's Seeds bring forth, your gardening becomes as fascinating as a game. Planting Burpee's Seeds taught me a valuable lesson, that is,that it does not pay to buy garden seeds from the corner grocery store. I also learned not to be content with just [[underlined]] good seeds. [[/underlined]] Get the best [[underlined]] from Burpees [[/underlined]]. Their seeds possess [[underlined]] Purity [[/underlined]], [[underlined]] High Germinating Power--Life. [[/underlined]] I Was satisfied with results from all yoru seeds, my wonderful garden and beautiful flowers gave [[^me]] an opportunity to sell my real estate at a [[underlined]] Profit.[[/underlined]] The old proverb, as you sow, so shall you reap, is more pronounced than ever, from [[underlined]] good seeds only [[/underlined]], can [[underlined]] good crops [[/underlined]] be grown.
