#4219 For Prize Contest. Tabernacle, VA. August 8, 1924. W. Atlee Burpee Company, Philadelphia, Pa. Gentlemen: This is what Burpee's seed have done for me: For the past twenty-five years I have been a planter of Burpee's seed and have made a practice of raising tomato and cabbage plants for sale. During that time I have had a great many customers who buy from me each year and the first thing they ask me when they come for their plants is: "Are these plants raised from Burpee's Seed". My answer always is "Yes, I do not plant any other seed but Burpee's. I had rather have Burpee's Seed at his price than to have the seed of many other concerns as a gift. In the past twenty-five years I have sold many hundreds of dollars worth of plants, both tomato and cabbage, and have never had an overproduction of plants, but always sell out, and I raise a great many. I have been selling tomatoes over since the Fourth of July right at my home for five cents per pound. I recommend to all planters "Burpee's Seed That Grow". They are the best that can be bought. Yours very truly, George L Diggs, Ans 8/25/24
