Mrs. Dexter E. Bryham of Decatur, Mich., writes: 
With my order I wish to tell you that I have had most 
delightful results from the package of your Prize 
Hybrid Delphiniums that I sowed last year. I have in 
bloom now gorgeous spikes of flowers in beautiful 
variety of color. The seed germinated well and I got a 
large number of fine plants from one package of seed. 
My Delphiniums are the prize ones of our town and I 
am ordering four packages of seed, one for myself and 
three for friends who have seen mine.
