Gentlemen:- 

Enclosed I am submitting four photos, for proof as to my statements- 
What Burpee's Seeds Have Done for me. 

After trying several kinds of Potatoes which did not prove satisfactory I received by request from O. B. Korrglow St. Paris, O. some of Burpee's Extra Early Potatoes. This potato alone has won distinction and a wide scope of friends in the agriculture field for me, winning for me three successive [[underline]]first premiums[[/underline]] One of them being a Gold Medal. The Premiums and medal being awarded to me three successive years for the meritts of the potatoes named above. I competed with 73 entries from 13 Counties. 1919 I won Gold Medal awarded by Old National Bank of Martinsburg for Size. 1920 - 10 Sks. Hydrated Lime from Blair Lime Co. for Qaulity. - 1921 - 10 Sks.
