7: Somers St., Brooklyn, X. V., Oct.ji, iS^s- 



Messrs. J. M. Thorburn & Co., N. Y.: 



Gentlemen — I cannot refrain from writing- you of the grand success I had with your seeds, particularly your new Wallflower, 

 single annual, the past season. I sowed seeds indoors March 1, and transplanted outdoors May 10. About the middle of June 

 the Wallflowers commenced to bloom, and are now loaded with flowers; some of brown, streaked with yellow, others yellow, 

 streaked brown, and of the most penetrating and exquisite perfume. The bushes grew about 2 feet high by 16 inches across, 

 evenly balanced and stronglv rooted. I have lifted and potted some of the bushes, in^even-inch pots, and now have them indoors, 

 where the flowers diffuse their sweet perfume through the entire room, calling forth expressions of delight from our visitors. I 

 have been planting flower seeds for the past twenty-five years, but never has such grand success as with seeds purchased from 

 you. Wishing you continued and well-merited success, I am Yours truly, 



Geo. C. Driner, 

 Engineer Corps, C. S. Navy.
