An Unusual Occurrence 



On March 12, 1915, we received an order lor 

 seeds in a "return" envelope sent out with onr 

 catalogue in 1886 



This was indeed a case oJ the dove returning 

 to the Ark after a long flight, but we gave it a 

 cordial welcome and were pleased to think that 

 a customer who dealt with us 29 years ago was 

 still thinking ol us and sending us liis order. 

 What we appreciate more than anything else is 

 this good will and confidence of our customers.
