plants from this one packet of seeds than I have gotten in the past from 5000 
plants; and there are 67 more yet to bloom!

I purchased three packets of seeds from you. The seedlings are now in bloom. 
Among some 250 plants there are not 10 fine delphiniums. Almost every one is sin¬ 
gle, and most of them are pale, without any character. 
Mrs. L. H. Porter 
Evansville, Ind. 
I have had very good success with your seeds. I had one exceptionally large 
flowered plant with a full 3 1/2 inch flower. Fully 30 per cent were over three 
inches. This is extraordinary for this climate. Furthermore, your strain of del¬ 
phinium is by far more adapted to this climate and low altitude than anything 
I have found; and I have tried about all of them.

I have been using your seeds now for three years and find them wonderful. My 
garden was a picture this year and the envy of crowds of people who saw my del¬ 
phiniums.

From your dark crosses I got one plant with flowers measuring 3 1/2 inches, 
most of the others being three inches. Quite a number of agreeable surprises came 
from your Connoisseurs 3 Series.

Your field of delphinium was a sight not soon to be forgotten.

Our Lyondels have been outstandingly lovely and interesting, the percentage 
of excellent specimens very high; the plants have unusual vigor and fine clean 
foliage.

Beading, Mass. 
This year your seedlings have been beyond expectations. The stems are stronger; 
they withstood heavy winds and thunder showers, in most cases without breaking. 
Auld House Delphinium Gardens 
Haverhill, Mass. 
From one packet of your No. 1 crosses only three seedlings have shown up, from 
No. 4, two, from No. 8, 2, and from No. 5, 10-12 seedlings. 
Mrs. Herman Lewis 
Kewanee, 111. 
The two packets of your seeds germinated in about seven days and practically 
100 per cent.

seeds.

Mrs. Harry Bruce Griffin 
Boyersford, Pa. 
Last fall I reported that I did not obtain any germination from your seed. 
You surprised me by sending me a second packet of Connoisseurs’ Series. I planted 
some of this seed in Steriloam, and the other in soil, but I failed to get any germ-
