For ten years I have bought my flower seeds from you. From time to time, I 

 have tried the seeds of other large growers, but I have found none more satisfac- 

 tory than yours. Your double Poppies, in particular, are the finest I have ever 

 seen, and the annual Coreopsis more varied and larger than any other I have tried. 

 I shall be glad to recommend your seeds to all my gardening friends.
