The blooms in my field of Lyondel plants have greatly exceeded my expectations 
both as to size of flowers and clearness of colors. They have certainly shown me 
real quality.

In the spring 1 got one dozen seedlings from yon. From these I had most 
remarkable flowers; one plant gave flowers three inches across. A highly commend¬ 
able feature is the length of time the flowers remain on the spike, and my Lyondels 
were still beautiful after others had shed their petals.

Plants developed from your seeds have caused quite a sensation; they are beauti¬ 
ful and we are much pleased with the size of the spike and flower.

Out of two packets of your seeds only IS seeds germinated. The plants have 
bloomed, but the colors are dull and lifeless and none of the plants is worth keep¬ 
ing. 1 $'|

Have some of your seedlings just coming into bloom, and they are marvelous 
both in size and color. I have been growing delphiniums for a number of years and 
thought that I was pretty good, but I find that in comparison with yours my old 
delphiniums look like discards.

I have tried very near every grower in the United States, France and England, 
and have yet to grow as fine plants as I have from your seeds. The whites are the 
finest that I have ever grown or seen anywhere.

The seeds we received last year germinated well and the initial bloom this year 
is the wonder and delight of those who have seen them.

As I am not a commercial grower I am being hard pressed to keep my plants 
grown from your seeds; they create a covetous complex in the minds of visiting gar¬ 
deners. One commercial grower who has been spending good cash for delphinium 
seed, had the following to say after seeing my plants: “7 am almost sorry I came; 
now that I have seen these I do not Wee a single delphinium I have at home.”

I am, getting some very beautiful blooms from your seeds , even better than those 
of previous years, which I thought would be impossible, as they seemed as near per¬ 
fection as I ever hoped to get.

From a packet of your Connoisseurs’ Series 120 seedlings came up. Up to 
present 23 seedlings have bloomed. There was only one single, and just one other 
which was under two inches across. The size of the others varied from 2 1/2 to 
2 3/4 inches across; one was 3 inches and one 3 1/8 inches. Up to this season I 
have grown some five thousand plants, and before I saw yours in bloom I had ob¬ 
tained just one plant ivith flowers measuring 2 3/4 inches in diameter. Your del¬ 
phiniums are much better than anything I have seen. I have gotten more good
