1 can assure yoti they arc one of tlie 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 dif¥erent 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.

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. I have taken so much satisfaction from those grown 
this season, that I will want quite a lot more, and will send in order 
early.

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.

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.
