W. Atlee Burpee Seed Co.,
Philadelphia, Pa.

Gentlemen:

Burpee Seeds have given us such splendid satisfaction and profit, we welcome this opportunity to add laurels to the many high honors already accorded The Burpee Seed Company.

We have used Burpee Seeds for many years, beginning with a city back-yard garden.  They now supply our "Forty-Acre Farm" in East Aurora.  The results are apparent at the approach and throughout our property.  Long aisles of hollyhocks, larkspur, foxglove and other perennials, (started in cold frames) extend their cheer and welcome, and passing years add to their beauty.

Our vegetable gardens furnish a bountiful supply of your choicest sorts, beginning in earliest summer to give both profit and enjoyment.

On cold winter evenings, it is a delight to get out the Burpee catalog, so complete, colorful and detailed, to make selections of varieties best suited to our soil and requirements.

I have seen your California Floradale Sweet Pea Farm.  Wonderful as they were, we get the same results here.  Vines grow to exceed eight feet, with abundant production and colors and forms like gay butterflies.

To possess a garden, fills one with a breath of sweetness, refreshment, peace and delight.  And Burpee Seeds give the fullest reward for the effort.

Very sincerely, 

(Miss)
