FOR PRIZE CONTEST.

Schoharie, N. Y., August 1st, 1924.

W. Atlee Burpee Co.,
Philadelphia, Pa.

Gentlemen:

From observations made at our country home, Schoharie, New York, I am submitting a short report of the splendid benefits derived from Burpee's seeds.

Artistic beautify is one of the chief realizations.  This beauty expresses itself in the simple plot of radiant old-fashioned blossoms, as well as in the more elaborate landscape garden.  While one watches nature develop, the element of beauty enters the thought life, and becomes a happy inspiration.

Secondly, practical profit accrues.  In a personal experience of several years, no other seeds furnish so prolific and successful a vegetable garden.  Especial varieties may be introduced in addition to the perfection of the more standard classes.  A garden of this kind yields direct profit to its owner in its dietetic table value and health giving properties.

Practical profit and pleasure is further extended through the commercial field.  Burpee's superior products enhance the business enterprise of large cultivators, both florists and truck gardeners.

Thus "What Burpee's seeds have done for me" is, in summary;- to give beauty and health in my own home and household, to render the community more attractive and
