The Graft's Hybrids you sent me last spring, proved to be all that you 

 claimed for them. Notwithstanding the long and severe drouth we had 

 here, the blooms were large and perfect, and the colors were fine. 



Had we a favorable season, there is no doubt but what they would 

 have done much better. Would also state that the "Meadowvale Mixture" 

 sent at the same time, was the best I have ever bought in mixture, and I 

 was both pleased with the bulbs, and your generous manner in filling my 

 order, although a small one.

The Graff's Hybrids you shipped me last spring proved very satis- 

 factory, and I was very much pleased with them.

The Gladioli are in bloom, and are a glorious rival to my sumptuous 

 orchids. I need not add that they give me exquisite delight. I think 

 them a wonderful creation, and in form and coloring, cannot be sur- 

 passed in Nature's realm. I cannot say enough to let you know how much 

 pleasure I have gotten out of my investment. Now I only wonder what 

 magnificent blooms I have failed to secure, because I did not buy more 

 of them.

f 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 dis- 

 cover something 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.

Doctor is very much interested in Gladioli, having about 



one thousand varieties. He saw those from stock which you sent me last 

 Spring, and he admitted they were the best and finest he ever saw, and 

 wanted to know where I secured them. I wish you would send him one 

 of your catalogues. 1 have taken so much satisfaction from those grown 

 this season, that I will want quite a lot more, and will send in order 

 early.
