What Burpee's Seeds Have Done for Me

In 1923 I purchased of the W Atlee Burpee Company, nine dollars ($9.00) worth of flower seeds consisting of Marigold, Asters, Calendula, and Sweet Pea's.

The seeds when sown required a ground space of two thousand our hundred square feet.

The percentage of germination of Burpee's seeds is very high.

From the nine dollars ($9.00) invested in Burpee's seed I sold four hundred and fifty dollars ($450.00) worth of flowers. In 1924 I planted eleven dollars ($11.00) worth of Burpee's Aster, Marigold, Calendula, and Sweet Pea seeds which required a ground space of three thousand square feet.

I have sold this year (1924) up to date Aug 4th, four hundred thirty-five dollars ($435.00) worth of flowers and still have another month in which to market flowers.
