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 wan 
about 18 feet long, beside our piazza. They 
all grew very stalky and were from 5 to 
6% feet tall; they were just covered with 
flowers the entire season. The different 
types and colors were surprising to us all 
as well as to our friends 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.

Dear Sir:;—The tubers arrived today in 
good condition and I wish to thank you 
for them, also for the extras sent. The 
“Cayeux” family I bought of you last year 
was a great acquisition—the finest I ever 
saw. “Sweet Briar” was the most beautiful 
pink Cactus I ever grew. 
Thanking you again and wishing you 
every success for the season, I remain. 
Respectfully yours, 
A. P. AUGUR.
