Gen. George Marshall loved gardening. He grew beautiful flowers; his pride was his vegetable garden.
In 1949, Marshall was out of town, & sent his seed list to his secretary Sally Chamberlain, asking for her help in making the order.
Chamberlain replied, “Enclosed is a copy of the seed order which was sent to the Burpee Company with a check for $13.” Marshall ordered the “Big Boy” tomato seeds in this their first year; the hybrid is still available.
