Dear Sirs, 
I have just grown, with more success than has 
ever attended my efforts at gardening, some mag¬ 
nificent Zinnias from your seed. The seed was 
purchased from a drug shop in Barbadoes, and this 
is to enquire if you have different qualities of 
Zinnia seed. Your advices will be appreciated. * * * 
With my thanks in advance, 
Yrs. faithfully,

Gentlemen, 
We would like to tell you of the fine Zinnias we 
have grown from your seed. Those of the Giant 
Dahlia Type were giants indeed, and very useful in 
mixed bouquets. However, the Lilliputs have been 
even more popular. We have never grown them of 
such soft colors and uniform size,—they are snapped 
up by ladies needing table bouquets. 
Gratefully yours, 
Bristol Flower Growers
