Gentlemen,:

With pleasure I submit the following report of what "Burpees Seeds have done for me."

I have used your seeds during 1923 and 1924, and have found them perfectly satisfactory; true to name and color,and 100% fertile.

The young plants grew rapidly, and were a source of profit in the early Spring, while later, The Blooms was magnificent, in both quantity and color. Last year Asters, pansies, stocks salpiglossis etc blooming much earlier than my neighbours, and  the same result with early vegetables.

Our northern climate being very short, (six weeks for most flowers) I consider this a great financial asset The pleasure I derivered from the wonderful growth and admiration from all classes my garden called forth, was if anything, the greatest benefit to me. Tourists from Toronto & Montreal stopped to admire and one Lady and Gentleman from Australia said it was the prettiest garden they had seen, since landing in Canada.

Last Summer alone I cut three thousand asters Lastly, Our Horticultural Society awarded me twelve prizes being Second in Grand Aggregate last year.

Your truly
