[[LEFT JUSTIFIED]]"For Prize Contest" 1267 [[CENTER RIGHT JUSTIFIED]]August 29th, 1925. [[LEFT JUSTIFIED]]W. Atlee Burpee Co., [[LEFT JUSTIFIED]]Philadelphia , Pa. [[LEFT JUSTIFIED]] Gentlemen:- [[INDENT]]Marigold has had a place in my garden for many years, but I never saw such Marigold as "Burpee's" seeds produced for me this year. [[INDENT]]Countless "Orange Balls", 7 to 9 inches in circumference , with fine long stems, produced throughout the blooming season, resulted from planting a package of your "Orange Ball" tall African variety. [[INDENT]]A few days ago I counted at random I0 to I2 dozen enormous flowers covering the plants with a veritable orange blanket. A bouquet cut at the same time contained 5 dozen flowers by actual count. Yours very truly, William Windecker 436 Teaneck Road. Ridgefield Park, New Jersey. [[DATE STAMP: AUG 31 1925]]
