What Burpee Seeds have done for Me

I wish to tell you what fine sweet peas I have grown from Burpee Dollar Box of seeds.
I generally plant my sweet peas during the early part of March, but as the ground was frozen and covered with snow at that time this year, I did not get them planted until April fifth.
The weather throughout April and May was unusually cold but the plants grew and by the middle of June were blooming profusely.  The flowers were generally born three or four on a stem, but I found one with six flowers on a stem and another with seven.
The flowers were so large and of such beautiful color that many people thought they were artificial.  Out of the Dollar Box and one packet of President Harding seeds I sold over thirty five dollars worth of flowers besides keeping a lot and giving many away.
