"What Burpee's Seeds Have Done for Me."

By Mrs. Edlyn Turney
   1033 S. Maffit St.,
   Decatur, Ill.



Inspired by Henry T. Finck's "Gardening with Brains" I began a thoro investigation of plant life, soil conditions, and seed companies that would make two city lots prove valuable to a family of four.

We purchased Burpee Seeds because they were the most often recommended to us.  Having the best seeds made me plan for results.  They helped me to find real pleasure in planning, purchasing, preparation of soil, and the planting of the different kinds of seeds, knowing there would results.

Such results! Every member of our family and neighbors have enjoyed an abundance of fresh vegetables, of which we are planning to have a supply in the winter months following Burpee's "Growing Vegetables for the winter months."  The financial aid has been appreciated by my husband.  The interest taken by our children in their individual gardens has been an inspiration and educations to them.  Because of results there is a mutual pleasure and profit in exchanging gardening experiences.  Each day this summer has been filled with plenty of profitable work, much to think about and pleasure in the anticipation of future gardens.
