Boothbay, Maine, April 8, 1909. 
My flower garden would not be com- 
plete without a bed of Astors raised 
from your seed. In fact my gardens 
for the last five years have been plant- 
ed with your seed. The best I ever 
used. I have had good luck with every 
kind of your seed I have ever tried, 
especially the Actors; they are always 
beautiful. Tried Cosmos last year for 
the first time; much pleased. Will send 
for larger order later. Mrs. It. Giles.
