Mr. Richard Diener, Oxnard, Calif. 
Dear Sir: It may please you to know that the flowers from 
the Petunia seeds I had from you last year not only took 
first prize at the Zomba Flower Show last month but created 
an absolute sensation! Neither I nor anybody else here 
had ever seen anything to approach them in either size or 
colorings. 
Yours very truly, 
MRS. H. E. GREEN.
