What Burpee's Seeds Have Done for Me.

   One of my first joys in the springtime, when all earth's beauty is re-awakening, is to hunt thru the seed catalogue and choose the flower and vegetable seeds to make beautiful "my garden".
   Every lover of nature surely needs no urging to go out and work with the soil. Planting seeds in the garden, out in the sunshine and pure air, seem to give me new inspirations and joys.
   When I open my garden gate and walk between the rows of beautiful tinted flowers grown from "Burpees seeds", I feel like the poet who wrote "the whole world is filled with beauty, perfume and sunshine, be happy".
   In my estimation, the flowers and vegetables produced from your seeds are pre-eminent above all others. Seeds ordered from other catalogues have quite often failed to "come forth", while yours have [[underlined]] never [[/underlined]] failed to spring up and bow their heads to the sunshine.
