For Prize Contest.
My acquaintance with Burpee's Seeds began in the year 1916.  I planted them that year with splendid results, and every year since, including the present season, I have planted Burpee's seeds and have found them invariably reliable.
My Burpee's garden supplies four healthy, normal appetites with a variety of fresh vegetables through-out-the summer and fall.  Rapid Red Radishes, Brittle-wax [[stamped]] Aug 31 1925 [[/stamped]] Beans, Danver's half-long Carrots with Golden Bantam Corn and Small Sugar Pumpkins form the nucleus of the group of vegetables, grown from Burpee's Seeds, whose fresh and delicious flavors have induced in our family a great fondness for vegetables.

Transcription Notes:
Writer's initial line appears to be "Fur Prize Contest" rather than "For Prize Contest." Because author's spelling and language use is appropriate throughout the remainder of the document, I took this to be a handwriting (i.e., failure to close the top of the letter o) rather than a spelling issue and transcribed as the correct word.
