Moscow, New York, April 10, 1899. — El/ts Bros. Gentlemen: My Primulas from your seed last 
year are very fine indeed, and have been much admired, but there arc some of the sorts that I have never 
had any like, and 1 want to try for them once more. I find your seed produces finer plants and finer 
varieties than f can get elsewhere. Yours respectfully, MRS. J. M. AMES. 
Kingsville, O., Oct. 12, iSgS. — Messrs. Ellis Bros. Sirs; I want to tell the success we had with 
your seeds. Last spring we bought a mixed package of Primula seed, from which we now have fifty.one 
very nice plants ami threw away at least four very small ones. Respectfully, MARY A. KINNEAR. 
_ Buffalo, N. Y. — Ellis Bros. Kindly mail me at once collection package of Verbena and single 
Primrose seeds. Have not had time as yet to carefullyexamine your new catalogue. There is one white 
fern leaf Primrose among those grown from seed obtained from you last year, which is a remarkable sped, 
men, both in symmetry of form, size and number of florets. Many of the single Primroses are as large as 
a half dollar. The florists that have seen it pronounce it a wonder. 
With best wishes, 1 remain very truly yours, W. F. I.AKE. 
CoATicooK, P. Q. — Ellis Bros. Dear Sirs : Primula, Stocks and Asters, I found them most excel, 
lent, germinating freely, and giving me very fine plants ; the Primulas handsomer than any I ever saw 
before. MRS. C. D. DYKE.
