W. Atlee Burpee Co.,

Messrs,

This is the first year I have used Burpee's seeds and now I shall never use any others. I have always bought from first class seedmen but Burpee's seeds have them all beat for germinating qualities.

The little plants seemed to fairly spring from the ground, in their eagerness to grow. My zinnias, straw flowers and heliotrope are about five feet high now and covered with bloom. My verbenas were very early and the flowers were large and beautiful in color.

We are to live on our farm next year and I shall have a large vegetable garden with Burpee supplying the seeds.

Sincerely yours,
(Mrs.) Ruth S. Staples,
