What Burpee Seed Stave Done For Me.

Three years ago I became aquainted with a neighbor of mine.

She had a very large yard and the most beautiful flower garden I had ever seen. She had so many Perennials and also annuals I was very much in love with flowers and so made up my mind to ask her where she got her seeds.

This was in the fall [[insert ink stamp August 14 1824]] so that I could not send for any seeds that year but I could hardly wait untill the next spring arrived.

Then very early the next year Burpees Annual came and one day when I went to visit her she handed me the book and I looked through it and she said if cared to seelect any seeds that could do so and we would send to geather so we did so.

I had very good success with plants
