^[[#4159]] ^[[Ans 8/25/24]] For Prize Contest Gardening, what has it meant to me! Real enjoyment, better health, a table daily supplied with the finest vegetables grown from Burpee's unsurpassed seeds and flowers to decorate it from early spring until late fall. Having a fondness for nature and all growing things, the cultivation of vegetables and flowers appeals strongly to me. On a small plot of land, notwithstanding my obstacles, I raise enough for our small family's use, can the winter's supply and sell more than enough to pay for the cost of producing. Such fine vegetables! What lettuce is there that can equal Burpee's "Wayshead"? Wonderful in every way". And as for Burpee's "Extra Early Prolific Peas" no other early variety can be compared to them. I plant my lettuce and tomato seeds by February 22nd gaining several weeks time. This year I planted at about the same time a flat of Burpee's Extra Early Potatoes, one of the finest on the market. By getting this early start, I expect to be digging potatoes by the middle of August. "One is nearer God's heart in a garden Than anywhere else on earth."
