Gentlemen:- Re: Pansies. 
The seeds which I got from you toward the end of last year has proven to 
be quite satisfactory. Its germination was excellent; the growth of the young 
plants was strong, and they have been a mass of bloom since they bore their 
first blossoms in February. Many of them are extra large and they have been 
the admiration of all visitors to my nursery. And to me, as a commercial 
grower, I was pleased to see many colors in them which are unusual. 
Among the smaller ones the pastel shades are pleasing, and it is these per¬ 
haps, that I have the greatest liking for, for the reason that they sell well to 
florists for make-up work. Later on I will send along an order for some pack¬ 
ets of seed apd I would like you to let me have some of these if you can man¬ 
age to harvest them separately. Perhaps you would be so kind as to let me 
know about this. Thanking you I am. 
Yours faithfully

In another letter under date of October 9, 1933 Mr. Hollaway has this to 
say farther. “Spring is now here, and the Pansies from your seeds are still 
blooming. In fact more profusely than ever, and they will continue to do so for 
some weeks yet. They were transplanted in Jan., commenced flowering in 
Feb., so you see their flowering has been continous for 8 months. From some 
of the strong growers among them I can pick on branches a foot long.” 
Every letter reproduced herein is on file for examination along with many 
others. NOT A SINGLE ONE was solicited. We are greatful, and THANK 
of their authors however.
