WHAT OTHERS SAY 



Johnston, S. Car. 

 Dear Miss Baines: — 



I have been ordering flowers for nineteen 

 years, but have never received a package in such 

 perfect condition as the Begonias are, not even 

 bruised. The Geraniums look as fresh as if I 

 had just taken them from a pot. I am glad to 

 tell you this for I feel that too often we with- 

 hold a word of encouragement that would make 

 easier life's burdens.

Dear Madam : — I never have had finer Roses 

 come to me than the ones you sent this spring. 

 They were so well packed and fresh when re- 

 ceived. All are doing well so far. Thank you. 

 Very truly yours, 



MRS. R. D. C.

 Miss Ella V. Baines. 



The Gem Collection of Roses received from you 

 in March is a marvel. The three Roses each bear 

 n large bud now, and their strong growth is 

 surely gratifying. In size they compare favor- 

 ably with Roses costing 25, 30 and 35 cents. 



W. B. 



New Orleans, La. 

 Miss Baines: — 



I received my plants that you sent me yester- 

 day and must say I 'was more than thankful to 

 you. The plants are just grand. I don't know 

 how to thank you, you sent me more than I ex- 

 pected. Do I owe you any more money? Write 

 and let me know, and I will send it to yon. You 

 will by so doing oblige me. L. C.

 Miss Ella V. Baines, Springfield, Ohio. 



Dear Madam — I desire to express to you my 

 appreciation of the splendid quality of the "Lily 



of the Valley" you sent me. Thanks to the splen- 

 did packing. The pips arrived in splendid con- 

 dition and were planted at once, and after only 

 six weeks they are a mass of beautiful blooms, 

 every pip sending up from two to five spikes of 

 beautiful blossoms, and are the admiration of all 

 our visitors. 



I feel repaid many times over for the small 

 trouble and expense incurred in this case and 

 will remember where to order again when I wish 

 such satisfactory results. 



Again thanking you, I am 



Yours very truly, 



T. S. H. 



Bison, Ark. 

 Ella V. Baines: — 



Received your four little Roses and they are 

 growing nicely, also the four "Mums." Other 

 Roses of yours of last year are doing splendid, 

 and the Killarney and Bessie Brown I got from 

 you a few years ago are the most beautiful 

 things in this country. Your little Roses have 

 splendid roots and I have not hnd one to die.

 Miss Ella V. Baines, Springfield, Ohio. 



My Dear Miss Baines: — I want to tell you about 

 the order of (lowers and bulbs you sent to me in 

 December. I have never received plants packed 

 so beautifully as those were, they came through 

 in perfect condition and all had started new 

 leaves. The Lilacs had big, fat leaf bnds on 

 them, and the nice part of it is, they didn't dry 

 off -when I put them in the ground, but have just 

 kept on growing. The Little "Baby" Roses are 

 in full leaf now. I surely appreciate your care 

 in packing them for it is such a long trip I sel- 

 dom receive plants in good shape even from San 

 Antonio, Texas. They came through in extremely 

 short time for a package; they were only ten 

 days. Thanking you again, I am. 



Very sincerely, 



MRS. JOHN S. B.
