Gentlemen: 
I should like to show you some very lovely 
flowers coming into bloom from your seed, es¬ 
pecially the zinnias in such fine shades, annual 
phlox, and the lovely chysantha calendula—and 
others equally as fine. My seeds were not put in 
the ground until late in the season—after the first 
of June—and I am much pleased with the results. 
Yours respectfully, 
MRS. CARL H. ALDEN, Gorham, Maine.
