Dear Sir:—The Dahlia bulbs I ordered from you 
some time ago arrived yesterday in fine condition. 
I wish to thank you for the fine collection you 
have sent me. I believe I now have the best col¬ 
lection in the State. I will endeavor to give them 
good care and report to you later. I have them all 
planted now. Respectfully,

My Dear Mr. Alexander: 
May 16, 1918. 
The box of bulbs arrived this morning. They 
are the best ones I ever received, they are so well 
sprouted. Thank you for the Stradella, which I 
have had and liked other seasons. 
I am always glad to recommend your bulbs, they 
come forth so beautifully. I wish I had room 
for more. Yours truly, 
E. F. TOLMAN.
