ft is with pleasure I write you iny experience with the bulbs ordered 

 from you last Sprino-, but really find myself quite inadequate to the task. 

 The blooms were so beautiful and each day developed something so new 

 and so wonderful that they baffle discription. I exhilDited thirty spikes at 

 our Floral meeting and you should have heard the exclamations of de- 

 light at the sight * * T am more than satisfied.

The (dadioli w e bought of you this Spring have given us a great deal 

 of pleasure. They are really grand in diversity of color, size of flower 

 spikes and of the individual flowers as well as in the exquisite penciling 

 and marking of some of them.

Last April I sent yon an order for small bulbs of Groff's Hybrids. It 

 was with some interest that we noted the first signs of flowering, as we 

 were not prepared to expect more than a few lilooms from these small 

 bulbs this season, and we are surprised and delighted at the full and 

 magnificent blooms produced. We felt as though it were a speculation 

 in.stead of an investment, but feel well repaid for cost and care of bulbs. 

 Thank you that your catalogue fell into our hands.

The ( iladioli bulbs I had from you last Spring have been extremely 

 satisfactory, the largest blooms I ever saw and some of the most re- 

 marKrable colors. I jiropose to have a thousand more next year.

The flowers from the bulbs secured from you have attracted the at- 

 tention of every flower lover in our village, and the verdict is unanimous 

 that such beautiful Gladioli have never been grown in this section before.

The Gladiolus is certaiidy the people's flower. The bulbs of the Si'vcr 

 Tropliy Strain were very fine. Another Spring I shall order more.

The Gladiolus bulbs. Silver Trophy Strain, which I purchased of you 

 last Spring have just ceased blooming. The blues were grand and the 

 reds unequaled. Every bulb bloomed to perfection.
