Dear Sirs:

The most important thing that Burpee's seeds have done for me is to prove the value of guaranteed, tested seeds.  This was impressed more forcibly by the failure of three important crops.  The first was sorghum, the seed for which purchased elsewhere, was such a mixture of sorghum and broom corn as to give a result that was neither one nor the other and entirely unfit for use.  The second, winter turf oats was killed outright by the first frost and the third alfalfa from which nothing resulted but a wonderful growth of wild mustard with
