admiring neighbors. . .’’—Mrs. C. P. (Ohio)

seeds I ordered from you. ... Never before had I planted a 
garden but I made the attempt under the guidance of a friend.

picked vegetables from June to frost. Besides I canned enough to 
provide us throughout the winter.’’—Mrs. D. G. (New Jersey) 
“Won second prize (for gardens) last year and it was our second

canned.’’—Mrs. A. E. S. (Ohio)

As one of our good friends sums it up 
‘What a garden! Both vegetables and flowers were and still are the 
talk and envy of the neighbors, thanks to Burpee seeds. The 
hybrid cucumbers were a picture ... luscious and beyond 
description. And the zinnias! If I told you the diameter of some 
of them you would surely doubt my statements. Once again let me 
express my pleasure and the joy of working with such fine seeds.’ —
