^[[circled]] 606 [[/circled]] [[underline]] For Prize Contest [[/underline]] What Burpee's Seeds Have Done for Me. I have been raised on Burpee's products. The catalogue was used as a picture and story book- in fact, it was my first text-book in elementary Botany Mother often describes the beautiful garden that would be ours if we planted Burpee's seeds and we children would keep out the weeds. Mother made a regular fairy stories from the pictures and we were very excited when each plant peeped through the soil. In time the novelty wore off and I disliked getting my hands dirty, my fingernails ruined, and tiring my back. Now, I am a college girl, and having overcome some of the foolish vanities of high school days the garden seems a delightful place to spend many of my vacation hours. I do not worry about the sun ruining my complexion, nor the dirt my hands I know that I will enjoy my Botany next year
