Santa Barbara, Calif., July 6, 1936. 
Mr. Richard Diener, Oxnard, California. 
Dear Mr. Diener: In the Fall of 1935 I bought from you 
some unrooted cuttings of Pelargoniums (Diener's Giant 
and Ruth McAfee); they developed into nice plants; result: 
I sold every one of them. Today I am writing for some more. 
Respectfully yours, 
THE ROSEGARDEN NURSERY, 
A. F. GRIMM.

Hicksville, Long Island, N. Y., Oct. 25, 1935. 
Mr. Richard Diener, Oxnard, California. 
Dear Sir: The collection of Pelargoniums that I received 
from you this Spring are all growing very well. Some of 
them are beauties. 
Yours very truly, 
FRANK WETTERAU, Florist. 
Loogootee, Indiana, June 3, 1936. 
Mr. Richard Diener, Oxnard, California. 
Gentlemen: Some time ago I ordered a packet of Diener's 
Everblooming Amaryllis seeds and about 85 per cent ger¬ 
minated, and are coming along nicely. 
Yours truly, FLOYD S. WININGER. 
Crescent City, Calif., April 29, 1936. 
Mr. Richard Diener, Oxnard, California. 
Dear Sir: The Pelargonium plants that I purchased from 
you last month are so much nicer than I expected that I 
want to thank you for sending such nice sturdy plants. They 
were packed so well, too, that none were wilted the least 
bit. I set them out and they are growing very fast. Four 
are in bloom already and all are in bud, ready to bloom. 
The ones that are out are the most gorgeous Geraniums 
that I ever saw. 
The Petunias that I raised from a packet of your number 
38 seed were grand. Everybody that saw them said they 
were the best they had ever seen. 
Yours very truly, HARVEY L. BROWN. 
Westport, Connecticut, Feb. 6, 1936. 
Mr. Richard Diener, Oxnard, California. 
Dear Mr. Diener: Last year I purchased the collection of 
Lady Washington cuttings. Ten of them came through in 
fine shape and now the plants, well grown, are coming 
into bloom. They are indeed beautiful. Venus came into 
bloom today and is exquisite. Thank you. 
Sincerely, RALPH V. SOLLITT.

Indianapolis, Indiana, August 1, 1936. 
Mr. Richard Diener, Oxnard, California. 
Dear Sir: Two years ago I ordered some seed from you 
and among the others was an order for Shasta Daisy. This 
was sent to Mrs. C. M. Kitselman at Muncie, Indiana. We 
have had more comment on those wonderful flowers than 
anything in the garden. 
Sincerely yours, 
HAMES H. LOWRY, C. E.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin, November 23, 1935. 
Mr. Richard Diener, Oxnard, California. 
Dear Sir: Enclosed please find $1.00 for seed as marked 
on order. I purchased a package of Diener's All-double 
Shasta Daisies last year. They have done splendidly, just 
as described in your catalog. 
Respectfully yours, 
WM. BITTERS.

Winnipeg, Man., Canada, Jan. 1, 1936. 
Mr. Richard Diener, Oxnard, California. 
Dear Sir: Kindly send me immediately your 1936 catalog 
of Petunias, etc. I wish to order and have only your 1934 
catalog, from which I had ordered your Mastodon Pansies, 
Petunias and Double Shasta Daisies, and which Daisies 
I might state have been wonderful. Have built up a large 
bed of about 150 (2 years old now) plants, and might state 
wintered the 30 to 40° below temperature without a single 
loss. At least 80 per cent were perfectly double and with¬ 
out a blemish or marking. 
Thanking you for your kind attention, I remain, 
Very truly yours, R. LEMONTON.
