While the corms were as you stated, small, they all bloomed. They 

 were not only entirely new varieties to me, but also very beautiful. The 

 individual blossoms on the stalks were large, and although the season 

 being rainy and dark, was not favorable, still I had entirely satisfactory 

 results.

I am delighted with the Gladioli bulbs, Gold Medal and Silver Trophy 

 Strain which I purchased of you in May. They blossomed finely the 

 last of August, and were exquisitely beautiful, their rich tints rivalling 

 orchids. The blossoms excited the admiration of all who saw them. 



I was awarded a special prize for them at our County Fair.

The Gladioli I received from you were the finest I have ever seen, they 

 grew so strong and increased wonderfully.

Some months since you sent me a package of your Gladioli. They have 

 been, and part now are in bloom and are indeed remarkably fine. There 

 are a few of extraordinary beauty and elegance of color. As I wrote you 

 I have been a grower of Gladioli for many years and have had many fine 

 flowers, but yours are far superior.

My stock all grew splendidly and when the flowers came I felt well 

 repaid for the cost of the bulbs. No one in this vicinity had seen a blue 

 Gladiolus, and my row of 100 blues attracted much attention. I am much 

 obliged to you for supplying me with such fine stock of my favorite 

 flower.

My Gladioli were a triumphant success and I want now to engage for 



next year bulbs from your Gold Medal Collection, sections two 



and three ; also I want of your Special Selections. 



Pennsylvania, Sept. 23d, 1903. MISS M. L. D . 



***** 



I have seen here this summer in a small garden belonging to my 



friend. Miss , the best and most varied collection of Gladioli 



I have ever seen. She said she secured the bulbs from you and I write to 

 ask you to send me your catalogue.
