Dear Sir:— 
Bulbs ordered from you last September came today and are very satisfactory, although no bill 
was enclosed. I am sending check for $5.45 which I think is correct. Kindly advise if not. I wish 
to thank you for the extra bulb “Chas. R. Everson” which you enclosed, and to say that it will 
give me a great deal of pleasure to grow a dahlia bearing that name. Allow me to thank you for 
the courtesy. Let me say that my experience has been, that your bulbs always come true to name, 
while from other growers it has been quite to the contrary. Yours very truly, 
CHAS. R. EVERSON.
