ination. Thirty days ago I planted the remaining seeds in a cold frame and only 
four seedlings came up.

The delphinium seeds I purchased from you early this year germinated 100 
per cent.

I planted several different growers’ seeds alongside each other in a flat. Yours 
gave by far the best germination.

About one half of my 150 plants resulting from two packets of your seeds is 
now in bloom. I have never seen anything like them for size of bloom and color 
combination. Out of one packet each of No. 6' and 7 seeded early this spring I 
have about two hundred fine looking plants, so I have no complaint to make about 
germination either.

In your circular you have a large sign, “If you are a beginner, stay away.” 
I refuse to do it, and demand my personal rights . Frorn my first packet of 
your seeds I got 12 plants due to my inexperience and a sandstorm or two. From 
my second and third packets I now have 350 seedlings, most of them looking like 
year old plants although planted in January of this year.

I sowed one packet of your Connoisseurs’ Crosses this spring along with seeds 
of the best strains of other growers and I a7n glad to report that the Lyondels 
showed the best germination and the most vigorous growth of all.

I am pleased to report that I now have one hundred seedlings just coming into 
bloom fro7n one package of seeds purchased from you. It seems that every seed 
must have germinated. I have never experienced such gemnination from seeds of 
other leading breeders. 
Dr. K. J. Thomas 
Jersey City, N. J. 
My first Lyondels which I grew fro7n seeds are now in their third blooming 
season and have grown into enormous plants. They icere set in rows three feet wide 
and plants two feet apart, but it is almost impossible to get through them now. 
They went through 18 degrees below zero. Thank you for the fascinating pleasure 
your blooms have given 7ne. If I lose every plant, I will still continue to grow 
Lyondels. 
Dr. H. A. Kuhl

Seeds from your No. 1 gave good spikes and large flowers. Plants from No. 2 
were also fine, one had a bloo7n spike 46 inches long. The plants from No. 3 ran 
truest to color of any delphinium seed I ever planted. Fro7n your special crosses I 
obtained two plants, the dark floivers of which 7neasured 3 1/2 inches across, well 
placed on good spikes. Another was a lavender of good shade and forty inches of 
solid bloom. And what pleased me much was a DOUBLE with three rows of sepals, 
light in color, flat and well formed, sky blue sepals edged with pink-lavender. And 
here is the bad news — the blues have so far produced only one plant that is blue.
