"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.
