Respected Sirs:-

I started out as a gardener in 1910. Since then I have tried practically every kind of seed obtainable, but none with such success as Burpee's. 

When I began to make my living as a gardener, I owned no home and had very little money in the bank. Now, after fourteen years of successful gardening I own a home and have a considerable amount in the bank. 

During the past five years, in which time I have used Burpee's seeds exclusively, I have received more compliments than during the other nine years.

I owe a considerable amount of my success as a gardener to Burpee's extraordinary seeds. 

I have taken a great delight in watching the rapid advancement of the seeds,and have in consequence become a great lover of nature. 

I usually receive my seeds in a very short time after I send in the order, which is usually quite large,and without error. 

I highly recommend Burpee's seeds and would not use any other variety

I remain-
Yours truly-

Mike Mohr
