As we sit at our desk writing this Catalogue, almost every mail 

 brings us numbers of unsolicited letters from our last year's customers, 

 testifying to the high quality of the seeds we have sent them, and in 

 many cases enclosing orders for next spring's planting. We publish 

 below extracts from a, few which come from well-known market gar- 

 deners, and speak for themselves. If we were to publish all such letters that we have received in the last three months 

 this Catalogue would contain nothing else.
