For Prize Contest

Wintry winds howling around the house sleet tapping against the window pane- curled deep in our favorite arm chair beside the ruddy glow of the fire side- what care we for the elements!

Oh! the thrill we experience as we again pore over Burpees Annual and marvel anew at its contents picturing the garden that shall spring forth afresh at natures' bidding.

The flowers hold us enthralled as we mark down our order for the coming season including old friends a few new ones and adding some perennials for that hardy border.

One may live in the heart of a city and still experience he keenest delight in gardening as proved by our plot which is strictly a "Burpees" garden

We have experienced untold benefits from this little plot.

1. The finest spring tonic conducive to health from tending our plants.
2. Pleasure derived from sending flowers to the sick
3. Intercourse with other flower lovers very dear to us
4. The development of a love for nature and the great outdoors.

We dream of a country garden where we shall raise vegetables and so increase the number of benefits derived from the finest seeds grown Burpees.
