OFFICE OF THE PARK COMMISSIONERS, 



Room 5, City and County Hail, Buffalo, N.Y., July 27, 1903. 

 MESSRS. R. & J. FARQUHAR & CO.. Boston, Mass. : 



Gentlemen : I wish to express my appreciation of the high quality of the fall planting bulbs which 

 during recent years you have supplied to the Park Department of the City of Buffalo, N.Y. 



The Hyacinths, Tulips, Narcissus, etc., have been the admiration of everyone. I may also add that 

 with 35 years' practical horticultural experience in America I have yet to see a better class of flower seeds 

 than we are in the habit of receiving from your house. 



Respectfully yours, JAMES BRAIK, Asst. Supt.. 



Department of Parks, Buffalo, N.Y.
