Dear Sirs: 
In the spring I en¬ 
tered your contest and 
bought $2.00 worth of 
garden seeds —the 
“D.B.” Collection. I re¬ 
ceived no prize in the 
contest, but I figured 
out this fall I was a 
winner. I had vege¬ 
tables on the table all 
summer, oftentimes 3 
kinds twice a day, and 
Ihave 200quarts canned 
for winter, and bushels 
of beets and carrots to 
store in the cellar. 
Respectfully, 
Mrs. John Sutherland, 
Henry, S. Dak.
