GREAT SATISFACTION; 

 LITTLE EFFORT 



Washington, D. C. 



L. Helen Fowler, 

 Shaw Water Gardens, 

 Washington, D. C. 

 My Dear Mrs. Fowler: 



I am sure that you will be interested to 

 know that I am more interested in my 

 Lily Pond than in any of the many other 

 gardens it has been my pleasure to put 

 together on our home grounds in Chevy 

 Chase during the past several years. 

 This, because of the rewards that have 

 come during these years with so little 

 effort. 



Since you installed the original planting 

 of these superb flowers, they have flour- 

 ished and multiplied, producing their 

 shows each season that have afforded us, 

 our neighbors and visiting friends delight- 

 ful surprises and joy in their ever depend- 

 able, ever changing beauties. 



Thank you so much for your personal 

 efforts and wide knowledge which con- 

 tributed so much in achieving such highly 

 satisfactory results. With best wishes for 

 your continued, de erved success, I am 

 Sincerely yours, 



Fred S. Lincoln. 



PLANTS ARRIVED IN 

 FINE CONDITION 



Fairview, N. C. 



W. B. Shaw, 

 Washington, D. C. 

 Dear Sir: 



I am very much pleased with the lilies 

 I ordered. They were received in splen- 

 did condition. 



Respectfully yours,

VIGOROUS, HEALTHY PLANTS; 

 VALUABLE ADVICE 



Albany, Ga. 



My dear Mrs. Fowler: 



Please accept my thanks for your letter 

 which came yesterday. I cannot tell you 

 how much I appreciate your going to the 

 trouble of writing me in person and in 

 long hand. 



For whatever I need in the future I 

 shall certainly call on you. You have 

 given me better service and better mate- 

 rial than any other place I have patron- 

 ized. I bought three lilies this year from 

 a local dealer, one of which never came 

 up and the other two have been slow. One 

 was also an August Koch, started two 

 weeks before the one I purchased from 

 you, and has only four small leaves above 

 the water and has not bloomed, while the 

 one from you bloomed one week after 

 planting. 



Later in the summer we hope to stop off 

 in Washington and see your water gar- 

 dens and choose a few lilies there for 

 next year. 



I shall certainly tell of my pleasant 

 experience with you when I attend the 

 garden club meeting tomorrow afternoon. 

 Respectfully yours, Jane Davant.
