Mr. J. K. Alexander, 
East Bridgewater, Mass. 
My dear Mr. Alexander; 
It’s no more than fair that I tell you how much we 
enjoyed our Dahlias this summer. I had the place 
prepared in the fall. It was about 18 feet long, 
beside our piazza. They all grew very stalky and were 
from 5 to feet tall; they were just covered with 
flowfs the entire season. The different types and 
colors were surprising to us all as well as to ourjiriends 
and neighbors, and for the amount of money sent you 
they afforded us more pleasure than any such amount 
ever sent to any firm sending out bulbs before. Next 
year I must have some more beauties so send me a 
catalog as early as possible. 
Thanking you for every courtesy shown us and 
wishing you a most prosperous year, I remain, 
Very sincerely yours, 
C. E. STURTEVANT.
