For Prize Contest.
Two years ago it became necessary for me to earn money for the pay't of High School tuition for my two older children, and Burpee's seeds solved the problem.
I grew such beautiful Sweet Peas from your seeds, and sold all of them. This year I bought Sweet Pea, Snapdragon and Aster seed from you. 
  I am able to offer for sale the nicest Sweet Pea flowers on the market. The "Improved Margaret Atlee" and "Wedgewood" are especially admired.
But all the varieties I have are long stemmed with plenty of four flowered sprays. My Snapdragons are just beautiful. Very large blooms on long stems which sell so well.
