plants in the garden are ten years or more of age, and in that time have

 from seed, and are very interesting plants in all stages. 15c pkt.

TESTIMONIAL 



Dunsandel, Canterbury, New Zealand. 

 Dear Madame: — With regard to the seeds 3 T ou sent last spring, I may 

 say I have been more successful with them than with any seeds I have had 

 in the past. Yours, etc., 



Nov. 25th, 1901. J. M. CROSTIE. 



Pittsburg, Pa. 

 Enclosed find fifty cents for Chrysanthemums, "California Fantasies." 

 I think I will raise all seedling "mmis" this year, as I had so much more 

 satisfaction with your seedlings than I had with my plants, when I had 

 some 200 in the greenhouse. Yours, etc.,

Gonzales, Texas. 

 My plants came some days ago. * * * I had to call my flower friends 

 to rejoice with me, and study your catalogue. The plants are entirely sat- 

 isfactory in every way, and in fine condition; were so beautifully packed, 

 and so many in the box. You must accept many, many thanks for the 

 extras. I would not take $5.00 for the Four Tree Begonias, not to speak of 

 Miss Marjorie Daw, and if they bloom a third as well as Mrs. Shepherd's 

 Begonias, they will set Gonzales Begonia wild. * * * I have never seen 

 such plants as you send. Yours, etc., 



November 7th, 1901. MRS. J. F. MILDER. 



Huntsville, Texas. 

 I want to tell you what beautiful Petunias I raised from your seeds 

 last spring * * * ruffled, blouched, and striped. I have squandered a good 

 many 25c on Petunia seed, but never anything to touch those raised from 

 your seed. Yours, etc.,

 I want to say the plants were received today, and that I am delighted 

 with them. * * * Yours, etc.,

 Mrs. Theodosia B. Shepherd, 



Ventura, California. 

 My husband returned from Ventura Saturday evening, bringing with 

 him a large box of the most beautiful Begonias that could possibl}- be 

 found in these United States, broad as the}' are. We knew in a moment 

 where they came from, for nowhere in this country has any name became 

 so famous in connection with these exquisitely delicate flowers as that of 

 Mrs. Shepherd. Yours, etc.,
