Mr. Richard Diener, Oxnard, Calif. 
Dear Sir: In my experimental garden I try seeds from 
many different growers. This year I tried your Dahlia- 
flowered Zinnia seeds with four other growers’ seeds. Your 
seeds so far outclassed the other seeds that there was no 
comparison. I can highly recommend your Dahlia-flowered 
Zinnias as the finest to be had today. 
Very sincerely, 
ROY F. CLOUGH.

NEW CYNOGLOSSUM AMABILIS, 
IMPROVED 
“Chinese Forget-me-not" 
This new Cynoglossum resembles Myosotis Alpes- 
tris so closely that an expert cannot tell them apart, 
and it can be brought into flower any time during 
the year. It will commence to flower seven to eight 
weeks after sowing and brings a great amount of 
cut material and should be very valuable for raising 
on benches in greenhouses during the winter. Color 
and growth are perfect in every detail.

Harvey, North Dakota, August 28, 1935. 
Mr. Richard Diener, Oxnard, Calif. 
Dear Mr. Diener: In regard to the Asters, I cannot say 
enough praise for them. Sunshine, Ostrich Feather, Im¬ 
proved Giants, Crego, Paeony type, and Heart of France 
were all in size and quality as you said in your catalog, 
and what has made me a booster of your seeds is that not 
a single plant showed a sign of blight, something very 
unusual in this state. 
Yours truly, 
RANEY A. WALBAUM. 
Kearney, Nebraska, December 5, 1934. 
Mr. Richard Diener, Oxnard, Calif. 
Dear Sir: During the time that I have been getting my 
seeds of flowers from you there has not been one item that 
has not come up and made a wonderful showing. The 
Shasta Daisy seeds produced wonderful plants and pro¬ 
duced flowers on them that could not be equaled anywhere 
around here the past summer. As to the Asters, I never saw 
such flowers with stems that stood up through heavy rains 
late this fall. Even the frosts did not harm them like other 
Asters that I have grown. 
The Petunias were wonderful. I have never put such 
flowers before the public and don't ever expect to only 
with Diener Petunia seeds. 
Yours truly, 
KINKAID GREENHOUSES.
