Ill "What Burpee's Seeds Have Done For Me" 193 Words A catalogue one winter day Into my mail-box found its way; From "Way Down East" it came. A chestnut burr and pod of pea Were there displayed that all might see. That "Burpee" was the name. That book for weeks was my delight. I read its pages every night, An order I did send. Though many years have passed away I'm very glad that I can say That book is still my friend. Although I have to dig and sweat, My weary toiling I forget When the results I see. To raise a twelve pound cabbage head, Two pound tomatoes rosy red Bring greatest joy to me. And I am filled with honest pride To see my table well supplied With "garden sass" so fine.
