^[[encircled and strikethrough]] 89 [[/encircled and strikethrough]] ]] ^[[2089]] [[underlined]] FOR PRIZE CONTEST [[/underlined]] W. Atlee Burpee Co., Seed Growers, Phila., Pa. Gentlemen: It must be a heartbreaking disappointment to buy expensive seeds or bulbs, and to care for one's garden painstakingly, only to be rewarded with mediocre blooms, little resembling the catalogue's glowing descriptions. This experience has never been mine. By using BURPEE seeds and bulbs, I have grown flowers even more beautiful than the BURPEE annual describes and illustrates. Neighbors and friends wonder at any success with all kinds of flowers, and declare there must be magic in it. My magic is available to every gardener. It is fully described in five simple words--"Use BURPEE seeds and bulbs". Very truly yours, (Miss) Ruth O. Ericson Ruth O. Ericson, c/o Civil Service Commission Washington, D.C. ^[[over]]
