Have you heard of the man who could "sleep in a wind"? It's an 

 interesting story, I think, and maybe you'll like it. 



One day a man came to a farmer and asked for work as a hired 

 hand. The farmer, needing a good man, hired him on the spot, al- 

 though he had only the man's word and appearance to judge by. The 

 hired man did his work well and willingly, but it was not until a certain night some time later that the farmer realized 

 what manner of man he had found. In the middle of that night, a great windstorm arose. The windows and doors 

 of the farmhouse rattled and shook as the wind screamed over the house and whistled through the barnyard. The 

 frightened farmer leaped from his bed, seized a lantern and rushed outside to see what he could do to keep his hay 

 ricks from blowing away, and to calm the animals in the barn. 



To his amazement, he found everything snug, safe and sound. The barn doors and windows were closed tight. 

 The hay ricks were covered with canvas and pegged to the ground. The horses and cows and sheep were contented. 

 The farmer returned to the house and found that the hired man was still asleep. "The man who can sleep in a wind," 

 mused the farmer, "is a man who knows how to care for his responsibilities. Now I, too, can sleep in a wind, for 

 I know that my hired man is trustworthy." 



In a way, this is also the story of our relationship with our customers. You represent the farmer; and we, the 

 hired man. We can "sleep in a wind" because we know that when we send you Star Roses you have nothing to be 

 apprehensive about. In fulfilling our duty and responsibility to you by sending you highest-quality plants and guaran- 

 teeing them, we earn your confidence, trust and respect. In fact, we enable you to "sleep in a wind" — too! 



With best wishes for your pleasure in roses, I am 



Sincerely,
