The Prize Contest
W. Atlee Burpee Co:-
     In trying to write of the wonderful things Burpees' seed have done for me, I hardly know where to begin. Will say, however, the first joy comes with the beautiful illustrated catalogue, which always fills me with new inspiration, as I select seeds for the coming season.
   Depending on outdoor life for health, I find that work with plant life adds much to my strength and happiness not only in this way, do I gain from your seed [[insert]] ^but  [[/insert]] financially they prove a great factor in my home,by furnishing my table with wholesome food, from one spring till the next. There is also a surplus which I market and this adds to the family funds.
       Last, but not least, is the joy of working with the beautiful flowers, I grow each year from Burpee's seeds Some of the happiest moments of my life are spent among them. They unfold to me many of Mother Nature's wonderful secrets and give me new visions of God's great plan, thus inspiring me with renewed courage,to keep on keeping on in the struggle of life.
