Mr. J. K. Alexander, 
Dear Sir,— 
Thank you very much for the prompt filling of my 
order. I was delighted with everything and especially 
with the extra fine species of Gladioli and Dahlias. I 
thank you very much for all. The Phlox, Iris and 
Tiger Lillies have taken root, and are sturdy and 
green, and I hope my Dahlias and Gladioli will give 
me much pleasure. 
I thank you again, 
Mrs. F. W. Reith.
