WHAT BURPEE'S SEEDS HAVE DONE FOR ME.

   In the early spring of 1923, my husband sent for Burpee's $1.00 seed collection as advertised in a farm paper. Neither of us were farmers and had had but little experience in gardening. From $1.00 spent we received many dollars in return. Besides having all the fresh vegetables our family of five could use I canned quite a few jars which helped out in our health and wealth last winter.
   This year we sent in a much larger order of vegetable and flower seeds as we have a good chance to dispose of any surplus vegetables to our neighbors who own automobiles and haven't time to spend in a garden and we enjoy a flower garden.
   No need of exercises when you keep your garden weeded and calories can be almost forgotten when you are eating fresh vegetables.
   It is now July and I have sweet peas 3 and 4 feet tall in full bloom purchased from 25 cents worth of Burpee's seed this spring.
   Forget your troubles, live out in the fresh air and sunshine and if you wish to be healthy,  wealthy, and wise buy Burpee's Seeds which lead to a life of happiness and success.
