It has not been the same since the Burpee family left and went through several owners and to it's current owner George Ball. I miss the days when a smiling David Burpee would be on the inside cover of the catalog talking about the upcoming season and the new seed offerings. I really do miss that but at least we have not only good folks here to ask for seeds from there are still some great companies to buy from.
