What Burpee's Seeds Have Done For Me.
The first requisite to successful gardening is discrimination in buying seeds.  Burpee's have proven to me that there is as much difference between seeds and Burpee's as there is between a raw boned old nag and a thoroughbred.  A handicap race at best with weeds, bugs, blight and drought the gardener who starts with inferior seeds makes a mighty poor showing.
Burpee's seeds have given me confidence, have eliminated that uncertainty which haunts every beginner - "will it grow."  When neighboring gardens have literally dried up and blown away my gardens are bursting forth into new life all over again due to the quick vigorous growth of a Burpee first crop followed by a suitable Burpee second crop.
