Some Better than the Very Best and a whole lot better than all the rest

Dear Sir - I am writing in regards to the Honey dew melon seeds and flower bulbs I bought of you telling you of the wonderful results I obtained from them.  I have bought the honey dew melon seeds from several seed house for six years, and never could get them to grow & thrive till this year.  I raised some wonderful good honey dew melon from Burpee's seed.  I also had some from another seed house but they didnt seem to thrive & bear like Burpees seed.
The Gladiolas also are the finest I ever seen and raised in fact the best in this vicinity.  It is wonderful how Burpees seed grow & thrive and bear of such excellent quality.
By actual test Burpees seed proved side by side any other seed the very best by germination test
