■• The stock Igotti-omyon is doing miiek 

 better than any I hare hail in the last 

 three years, which were p\irclia.^ed else- 

 where. Last year my bulbs turned out 

 tiilly W per cent, worthless: the year be- 

 fore :ili per cent, and the year before that 

 :.'(l per cent., and 1 changed purchasing 

 place on that accoutit every year. This 

 season I got my bulbs from you, and I am 

 ver.v much pleased with them. The.v am 

 as tine a lot itf plants as an.v one could 

 wish to see. Trusting. vou ma.v be able to

 Dlture as this lot has turned out, I remain.
