'■ Two years ago we sent to your firm (also to another 
celebrated establishment) for Primula seeds. Yours were 
by far the finest in colour and the largest flowers, many of 
the single pips larger than a silver dollar; the whites very 
large and fine.” 
J. Hollingsworth, Esq., Mount View, Heathcote, 
Victoria, Australia, Dec. 1, 18S7. 
“ All the seeds that I have had from you have come out 
splendid. The Primulas we:e grand, and I was told by 
a competent judge that they were the best he had seen in 
the colony, and I happened by chance to grow them well. 
My place is now like a home of flowers.”
