[[underlined]]What Burpees' Seeds have done for me.[[underlined]]

The W. Atlee Burpees Co. claim that "Burpee Seeds Grow'. I have proved 
this to be a true statement and anyone who saw my garden would not dare
dispute it. I may say that the seeds I got have grown beyond my
expectations. My garden is not very large, only about 30 by 50 feet,
but it has given me large returns in pleasure and profit for the time
I have spent in it. The spot where my home and garden now are was only
a vacant lot covered with weeds last year which I bought and built a
home on and from the comments of my neighbors my garden has added a
great deal to the beauty and value of my home. People have asked,
Where did you get such beautiful flowers? and I can only reply "I bought a Dollar Collection from Burpees of Philadelphia." and I believe I could have filled my garden with flowers alone when I thinned them out but I also had a collection of vegetable seeds, and when my wife gets through canning and the root crops are in the cellar we will have many treats in store for the table this winter.
                            
Very truly yours,
Jospeh Henderson
