What Burpee's Seeds Have Done for Me.

They have helped me keep down the high cost of living, by supplying my table with fresh vegetables each season. What I do not need for myself, I sell at a good price, this helps to pay for seeds and fertilizer. I have learned the great value of greens and salads as an asset to the diet. Each summer I have had an abundance of beautiful cut flowers, with which to beautify my home.

Using Burpee's seeds has given me nice healthful outdoors exercise, which has increased my weight and improved my health. I have had a great deal of pleasure out of gathering the fruits of my labor, as well as real enjoyment eating the fresh picked vegetables. Keeping busy has made me happier. 

Watching plant life develop in the garden, has given me ^[[a]]  greater knowledge of nature, thereby broadening my mind. It has taken me into a new realm, away from the affairs of everyday life. The flowers with their refining and uplifting power, influences me for the good. Whatever measure of success I have had with the garden, I owe largely to the use of the best seeds that grow.
