It isn't even worth the efforts on the fingers to address the "posts in question".

By the way, to get back a bit on topic.....Burpee was indeed one of the great seed houses - their catalogs from the 1880s through the 1920s are absolutely wonderful. Along with Henderson, Maule, Salzer, Isbell, Buckbee, Ferry - oh, to be a gardener back then and be able to select from so many different sweet peas - available in individual colors!
