What Burpees Seed have done for me

That special seed gives me the most delightfull subject to write or talk about. It will require an understanding heart, to "read between the lines" all we wish to convey about the wonderfull lessons we have learned the pleasures gained money earned since planting [[underlined]]Burpee Seed[[/underlined]] I always have a good garden wonderfull to see the living unbroken row of green after planting, it is up at once, seems twice what I planted, have an abundance to sell and some to give away
We have the finest looking and best flavored vegetables, always have a number of varieties lasting until crop of following year. This means a big saving. I have learned the birds sing more sweetly in the early morning and evening to, all that nature bestowes is more appreciated now since working out doors 
I wish you all could see my garden my flowers go to a number of Hospitals, Gravesides, sick room dinners. Church, the pleasure it seems to give [[underlined]] is is joy[[/underlined]] for me There are times when all nature seems to be in unison rejoicing and working together, Your Lillies have gave more pleasures than all others, they excel even King Solomon in glory & beauty
