Detroit, Mick. 
I have certainly had, many beautiful delphiniums this year from your seeds, 
and each year brings still better results. 
Dr. Garland G. Gee 
Seal Harbor, Maine 
The seeds that me got from you last year are fine plants now. Some of the 
spikes are three feet in length and some with flowers three inches across. The 
smolcey lavenders seem to have the largest blooms of all.

After seeing your delphiniums bloom in my garden, I am throwing away all 
my duds. 
Mrs. Dodney Proctor

Your seeds came up like grass. I believe every seed germinated. 
Dr. Henry A. Kuhl 
Portland, Oregon 
I ivas visiting my son in Mason City, Iowa, last summer; he had some of the 
most beautiful delphiniums I ever saw. He said that he got the seed from you. 
Mrs. Nannie Peterson 
Towaso, N. J. 
Your seeds germinated DO per cent. 
Mrs. Wilbur M. Jacobs 
Sandwich, III. 
Your seeds germinated well and the blooms I obtained this year give promise 
of being superior to any other I have tried. And I might say that I am cornparing 
them with seedling from the best seeds obtainable in this country and England.

Words cannot express the thrill 1 received from growing your seeds. I have 
never had such gorgeous blooms and SO YEPY LAPGE! 
Mrs. Edw. Zejda 
Newton, N. J. 
After seeing your seedlings in bloom, I shall confine myself to the Lyondel 
Garden delphiniums. Seedlings resulting from seeds at $5 and $10 per packet can¬ 
not compare with yours. I regret 1 had not learned of you years ago. 
S. Sayer Shaw 
North Platte, Nebr. 
I raised 185 seedlings from, two packets of your delphinium seeds.

WHAT I CAN AND WHAT I CANNOT GUARANTEE 
I guarantee that every seed produced by me is the result of cross polli¬ 
nation by hand. 
I guarantee that all my seeds are the current year’s crop. 
I guarantee that according to my germination tests all seeds sold by me 
give excellent germination, but I cannot guarantee that you will obtain a 
single seedling from my seeds. 
I guarantee that my assorted crosses represent just what their description 
indicates, namely that in white crosses only white flowers have been used for 
seed and pollen parent, that in lavender crosses only lavenders have beers 
used, or in blue crosses only blue seifs have been used, etc. But I cannot 
guarantee that the white seeds will produce a single white progeny, or the
