"For Prize Contest" 
What Burpee's Seeds Have Done for Me.

The most of my life has been spent on a farm. At present I am living in a second story apartment. The flowers were plentiful and of many kinds in the country. The air was pure and everything was restful.

Here it is quite the opposite. The sun does not shine very much on the back porch. There is noise and dirt. I longed for the out-of-door.

A few boxes fastened to the porch railing filled with soil from a distant hill was to take the place of this. A careful selection of seeds from your catalogue and all was ready.

The spring was cold and wet. It was doubtful if the seeds would sprout but time proved different. They have repaid me a thousand fold.
