It is our honest endeavor to send out the best 
quality stock. Below we print just a few of the 
many letters we received in 1935 from every state 
telling us how well pleased mu' customers are. It 
makes us happy indeed to receive these letters. 
Not for the words of praise alone. But because it 
brings home to us so forcibly that every time we 
send out an order, we are helping 
some family get more pleas-

Would you please be so kind as to send me 
your rose catalog for this year or at least some 
of your special offers so I can reset my rose 
garden with your stock ? The reason why I shall 
insist on your roses is because last su mm er 
when on an auto trip we pulled into a filling 
station in a Uttle Kansas town where water for 
the radiator of our car was a serious demand. 
To my surprise, I found a rose garden blooming 
right out there on the drouth burned prairie 
when mine with water and shade had long since 
drooped and died. And when I say blooming I 
mean blooming in a big way, not a straggly, 
blossom here and there. The attendant told me 
they were from you and had been put out that 
spring after the drouth had even begun. On one 
lovely pink rose bush we coimted more than 
forty full blown roses. He said they had counted 
fifty-six one day the week before. Red, Yellow 
and even the more delicate white, were bloom¬ 
ing equally successfully although not quite so 
profusely. I hope I have remembered the address 
correctly. I most assuredly have remembered 
the phenomenal sight of that rose garden in the 
little drouth stricken town.—Mrs. Ewing 
Lawter, 5810 Walrond Ave., Kansas City, Mo. 
Also the roses I got from you were beautiful. 
I had roses in bloom all summer. I got roses 
other places but yours me by far the best.— 
Mrs. Abel Bankson, 2723 Prospect, Sioux City, 
Iowa. - 
Thank you for your prompt attention to 
;. We 
my 
recent orders. We are pleased with your service 
and are calling the attention of our friends to 
your catalogue.—Mrs. C. D. Royse, Rockville, 
Ind. — 
I want to tell you these are the finest plants I 
ever bought and I have purchased quite a few 
roses. Have a nice rose garden and I am quite 
sure you will receive all my future orders.— 
H. W. Woodruff, 468 Markison Ave., Colum¬ 
bus, Ohio. 
I want to tell you that the glads I bought from 
you this spring are beautiful and every one says 
they are the largest they have ever seen.—Ethel 
S. Walker, Box No. 194, Wellsboro, Penn. 
I got some everblooming roses from you the 
last two years and they are beautiful. Everyone 
is wild over them. Our trees are wonderful and 
also all the shrubbery.—Mrs. G. R. Brinkena, 
Venango, Nebr.
