I can assure you they are one of the handsomest specimens 



which ever came to the Catskill Mountains, being admired by everybody, 

 and you certainly deserve credit for your skill and art in producing these 

 Gladioli. The different shades of color and the artistic designs upon them 

 are beautiful. In looking at them, every minute you discover some- 

 thing different, and new in color. Only sorry to state that the pleasure 

 to enjoy them was .so short, as the season in the mountains this year was 

 rather poor for flowers.

The Gladiolus bulbs you sent me produced the largest and most beau- 

 tiful flowers I ever saw. I am more than pleased.

As regards the Midway Collection purchased from you last Spring, 

 they have bloomed well, and the colors have been fine, and the size satis- 

 factory. Another Spring I shall order more, as I like them better than 

 any bulbs I have had before.

I write to tell you of my beautiful blossoms. I have several of the 

 coveted blues and heliotrope colors, a few dark red and several oddly 

 marked. I am more than satisfied. I hope to purchase next Spring some 

 of your higher priced bulbs. 



New York, .\ug. 24th, 1902. MRS. L. N. B . 



Your Midway Collection as ordered by me in early Spring, proved all 

 you claimed them to be, in fact they were the finest Gladioli I have ever 

 had in my collection, and I shall take pleasure in recommending you to 

 friends who desire bulbs of the higher order.

I have to report that we had a most favorable season for Gladioli 

 blooms, and having them mulched with straw, I had some of the largest 

 and best Gladioli I ever saw. In quality, the three strains (Gold Medal 

 and Silver Trophy) I received from you two years ago, were the best. 



Two bulbs of the first section (Dark Shades) produced flower stems 

 that were immense, nearly five feet high, and of such vigor, constitu- 

 tion, and sun-resisting qualities, that I kept them separate to breed up 

 in future, a sun-proof strain.
