The Rorists^ Review 17 



Mr. Ferd. Fischer, of Wiesbaden, Germany, 

 writes as follows: 



American Bulb Co. 

 172 N. Wabash Ave. , 

 Chicago, 111. 



Gentlemen: 



Owing to the extreme shortage of coal in 

 Germany, it is necessary that I reduce my plants 

 this season and not produce as many seed as I 

 did last year, and therefore please advise me 

 immediately as to your sales on my seed so I can 

 only save the varieties that are principally wanted 

 in America. 



I am sorry to learn that the American 

 Cyclamen growers have suffered considerably with 

 diseased plants. I believe that since they are 

 again able to secure seed of my growing they will 

 have better results and will not suffer with dis- 

 eased plants. My customers, who have been buying 

 seed from me for many years and some who are per- 

 sonally acquainted with me, know how particular I 

 am in making Cyclamen seed growing my specialty, 

 and doing that alone makes me watch things very 

 closely. I feel confident that you will find no 

 diseased plants produced from any of my strains. My 

 opinion is that the strains sometime run weak when 

 they are not selected. 



Wishing you a good season's business and ex- 

 tending my best wishes to my customers in your 

 country for a prosperous season, I remain. 



Yours very truly, 



FERD. FISCHER.
