What Burpees Seeds Have Done for Me

Burpees seeds have given me one of the best gardens in town and much oore. 

All gardens are generous to those who love them, but Iam sure no other garden has given more than mine. 

It has given rest after a day of work when body aches and nerves throb. Nothing gives relief so quickly is an hour in my garden,

I get courage and encouragement from my Burpee garden. When I have come home discouraged and am ready to give up,my flowers have given me the courage to go at it again feeling that the world is good.

And the friends and acquaintances I have gained ^[[!]] Some of them old friends whom I have valued for years,othersnew but charming and interesting when I know them.

Who are they? First, my Burpee flowres themselves. Then there are the bees,busy and gossipy, and the flowers and birds, a toad ugly but useful, the spiders and many others.

And last,Burpees seeds have given me such food for both summer and winter that my income has gone farther,my health gained, and our [[strikethrough]] maels [/strikethrough]] meals have excelled. Have you eaten Burpees Vegetables canned?

They cant be beat.
