Dear Sirs:-

For Prize Contest.

From 100 seeds each of Burpee's Fordhook and Golden Self Blanching celery. I developed 98 Fordhook and 96 Self Blanching plants. and all grew when transplanted except one self blanching. Kept celery in perfect condition in my cellar until March.

From 50 seeds of Matchless Tomatoes and 12 each Cherry Red and Whole Salas every seed grew. Planted 30 Matchless and 3 each Cherry Red and whole Salad and every plant grew.

Last season I grew vines fifteen feet tall (as per enclosed photo) from Matchless Tomatoes, and the tomatoes were as large at the top as at the bottom.

My garden is 30 x 45 feet and I raise twice as many vegetables as two of us can
