Mr. Rudolph Fischer, Great Neck, L. I. 



Dear Sir:— Mr. H. F. Du Pont wants me to 

 acknowledg-e receipt of the Fischer Grand 

 Freesia "Purity" he bought of you. 



I would state that we are very much 

 pleased. I find It to be of a very superior 

 Quality; it Is fully equal to the claims you 

 make for It. It grows 24 Inches high, good 

 sized and stllT stems, bearing large clusters 

 of magnificent white and very large sized 

 flowers, wlilch are delightfully fragrant— an 

 Important consideraticn. Growers will find 

 that this variety grows much stronger, with 

 finer flowers and in greater abundance than 

 the regular type. It is without doubt the 

 best freesia that has been Introduced, No 

 florist, or any one interested in flowers, can 

 afford to be without this variety. 



Yours very truly, 



WM. KUPKE, 



Gardener to H. F. Du Pont, Esq., Wlnter- 

 thur, Del.

 MR. R. FISCHER. 



Dear Sir:— Yours received, and In answer 

 thereto, we would say that we cannot speak 

 too highly of your Freesia "Purity," as it has 

 proved very highly with us, and should be a 

 great seller on account of the purity of color, 

 and being superior over any other freesia we 

 have ever grown. Wishing you success with 

 same, we remain, Yours respectfully,

 MR, R, FISCHER. 



Dear Sir:— It gives us much pleasure to say 

 that your Pre«8la 'Purity" is simply superb. 

 I cut the first 15 spikes on the 3rd of this 

 month, and up to date havecut from 100 bulbs 

 227 first-size spikes, which I wnolesaled at 

 2c each, and 38 smaller ones, which I sold at 

 Ic each, and ihere are more to cut yet. There 

 was ooe rogue in the lot, and the contrast 

 was as crab apples to Baldwins. It will surely 

 supplant the old variety when the supply is 

 equal to the world's demand. 



I congratulate you on your good fortune In 

 giving to the world such a splendid plant. 



Yours truly, 

 E. SEXTON.

 MR. R, FISCHER. . u ». 



I received your postal asking my opinion 

 of your new Freesia "Purity" and I am 

 pleased to say that although I was so late in 

 sending my order, and that I was only able 

 to get smallest bulbs. I never saw such large- 

 slied f reeslas in my life before. They were 

 immensely productive, and their perfume 

 was most delicious. In "Purity" you have 

 put all lovers of the flower under lasting ob- 

 ligation. I hope you will meet with great 

 success in the sale of it. 



Very truly yours.

Dear Sir:— I have bloomed Freesia "Purity ' 

 during the past winter, and find it the strong- 

 est growing and most abundant bloomer of 

 any variety I have ever trted. Three plants 

 in one 6-ln. pot produced 218 blooms: others 

 were not far behind, the lowest being 195 

 blooms on three plants. I was able to get 

 stems It) inches long, and I can well believe 

 that they may be grown two feet in length 

 The flowers are of large size, good clear 

 white in color, and have sufficient fragrance 

 for florists' use. Yours very trulyT

 MR, R, FISCHER, 



Dear Sir:— Your postal card of January 18 

 received, and I am sorry that It has been so 

 Ion? unanswered. The freeslas which were 

 bought of you have produced remarkable 

 flowers, although you will remember I did 

 not have the larger bulbs, as you had sold all 

 of them when I wrote you. Grown side by 

 side with the ordinary freesia, it is superior 

 in every respect, and is simply not to be com- 

 pared with it, I am well pleased with the 

 small investment that I made in it. and shall 

 undoubtedly have more if you have bulbs to 

 offer next summer. Yours truly, 



R. G. HANFORD. 



Hlghtstown, N. J., March 10. '06, 

 MR. R. FISCHER. 



Dear Sir:— The small bulbs (third size) you 

 kindly sent me for trial last summer, did 

 finely, although they had very little care. 

 They produced as high as 10 florets on a single 

 stem. Edward Rold, tne florist commission 

 merchant from Philadelphia, saw them at my 

 place in bloom and said they were the largest 

 blooms he ever saw, more than double the 

 siee of wbat came to Philadelphia. Wishing 

 you success, I am. Yours truly.

 MR. R.FISCHER. 



Dear Sir:— Have waited for some time be- 

 fore sending opinion of your Freesia "Purity" 

 as I wantea to see it in all stages of growth, 

 and side by side with the common kind. Take 

 it all in all, it Is the best freesia I have seen 

 on the coast. By doing proper elimination of 

 bulbs sbowlng yellow, I think In a few years 

 it would be all white. Some of the flower 

 spikes were perfectly free from color as it is. 

 And I only hope your carnation, "Abund- 

 ance," will please me as well.. 



Florally yours, 



C. C. WOODWARD. 



Ionia, Mich, Feb. U, '06. 

 MR. R. FISCHER. 



Dear Sir:— Regarding "Purity" I must say It 

 was of the purest white of any freesia I have 

 ever grown. Also very prolific, and long 

 wiry stems with ten blooms on each. It was 

 a sight to behold when in full bloom. 

 Yours respectfully, 



M, WETTERLING,

 MR. R. FISCHER. 



Dear Sir:— Now that your freesia is in 

 bloom, I must say that it is fine. It grew be- 

 yond my expectations, and beyond all sup- 

 port that I gave it. They grew 27 inches hlgb. 

 Yours very truly,

MR. R. FISCHER. 



Dear Sir:— I consider your new Freesia 

 "Purity" as a very good cut flower. I had a 

 bench where I could grow nothing else, but 

 your freesia grew to perfection. I shall want 

 more next year. Yours truly, 



GEO. GLAENTZEL. 



,.„ _ _ Pemberton, N. J., Jan. 22, '06. 



MR. R. FISCHER. 



We find that your new Freesia "Purity" 

 produces larger stems, larger flowers, and of 

 better quality with the same treatment that 

 we gave the older variety.

Dear Sir: — Regarding Freesia "Purity" 

 would say I am much pleased with it. It has 

 fully sustained all your claims for it with me. 

 I had first flower December 23, and have now 

 finished cutting. The main stem had eight 

 to eleven florets. I cut a number of bunches, 

 all having eleven florets to the main stem, I 

 am, Very truly yours,

 favor, also box containing flowers of freesia.

 finer than can be produced from stock as or- 

 dinarily sent out. When you are in a position 

 to offer a stock of the same, would be pleased 

 to hear from you regarding same.

Dear Sir:— The writer had the pleasure of 

 seeing some especially fine blooms of yo«r 

 Freesia "Purity" as shown at the New York 

 Florists' Club last Monday, Have you any 

 stock for sale? If so, at what price? To 

 what wholesaler, it any, are you shipping

 MR. R FISCHER. 



Dear Sir:— Yours of the 8th inst,. asking in 

 reference to your new Freesia "Purity" of 

 which you sent us a few bulbs, is at hand. 

 We potted up the bulbs that you sent us, on 

 receipt, and they are now in bloom, and from 

 what we can see of it, it is an extra fine free- 

 sia. Of course the small quantity gives us 

 hardly enough to make a very good test, but 

 it looks all right. When you have bulbs of 

 this to offer again, we will be glad to have 

 your lowest price on same. 



Yours very truly, 

 F. R. PIERSON COMPANY.
