^[[1411]] [[stamped]] SEP 1 - 1925 [[/stamped]] Portsmouth Va., August 21 1925. W Atlee Burpee Co., Dear Sirs., Inclosed you will find a picture which I wish to enter in your prize contest. The title of the Picture is - [[double underline]]BURPEES BULBS GROW AND BLOOM ANY WHERE.[[/double underline]] Last Summer I stored some tulip bulbs in my wood shed, later inthe fall I stored some lime in the same house. Early this Spring I used some of the lime and when I took the bag out I saw a perfect tulip bloom in the corner. The foliage was white, but the flower was a brilliant red. This bulb had grown and produced aperfect flower under a sack of lime, this is the reason I say that Burpees Bulbs Bloom any where. Respectfully, J.H. Scott Jr % Clerls Section Portsmouth Va.
