W. Atlee Burpee Co.,
Philadelphia, Penn'a. 

We have a little garden on the outskirts of the town. Living on the corner of the street, many people stop to admire our well kept garden. The finest vegetables we had, I can honestly say, were were raised from Burpee's seed. Our corn was delicious, our carrots so tender, sweet and smooth, and I want to especially praise your wonderful bush lima beans. We bought just a half pound of them, and such a harvest! The bushes were so loaded down that we had all we wanted to eat all through the season, and my husband could not fill all the orders he got at the office where he is employed. One old gardner said they were the finest lima beans he had ever seen, and he has been a gardener for the past sixty years. We have ordered double the amount this year and expect another bountiful harvest, even considering the adverse weather conditions. We buy Burpee's seeds for Burpee's seeds grow. 

Thanking you for the opportunity to write this letter, 

I remain, 

Yours truly, 

Frances M. Tschopp
