For Prize Contest.

Since childhood I have loved to watch the development of plant life. While watching the growth of flowers and vegetables my satisfaction has been augmented by the realization that we can help nature do her best under all conditions when we use seeds of highest vitality and germinative power.

While appreciating fully the good vegetables and beautiful flowers raised from seeds of highest quality, there is something else of immeasureably higher value to be considered - something which transcends all estimates of a material character. This greater satisfaction is derived not from the pleasure and profit of a small garden planted with Burpee's seeds, but from the fact that I trade with a great house in which the highest standards of business integrity and courtesy guard every packet of seed grown and sold, a truth which I can pass on to inquiring friends and acquaintances without reservation, thus making them sharers in my pleasures and profits. 

Burpee's seeds have given me pleasure, profit, education, and great satisfaction, which absolute honesty always imparts.
