LEANING OVER THE GATES IN NEW ZEALAND 
Auckland, N. Z.: "In all my life I have never seen such huge plants, huge 
flower spikes and huge bloomsl The plants were from five to seven feet in 
height and some of the flower spikes were over three feet in length—the 
blossoms ranging from to 3 inches across. Of course we had numbers of 
people leaning over the gates and several nurserymen came to see them." 
LEADING GROWERS OF THE WORLD 
Robinston, Maine, September 1933: “I have great regard for your 
achievements, in fact am convinced that you are the best man in the Del¬ 
phinium field in America. Since I have plants of all the leading growers in 
the world, including all the distinguished English growers; my admiration 
for your work is based on experience." 
CONTINUOUS STREAM OF VISITORS 
Belleville, Ontario. ‘'Last year I bought a packet of your Complete 
Range seeds and one of Wrexham. At the present moment the plants are 
in full bloom and present a sight not soon forgotten. I took eight first 
prizes with them two weeks ago. There was nothing at the show to equal 
them. As a result there has been a continuous stream of visitors, all of them 
amazed at the size and perfection of spike and flower and the range of 
shades embraced." 
HOODACRES SHIPS SAFELY — COAST TO COAST 
Calais, Maine: “Received the Seedlings, and they are fine. Let me con¬ 
gratulate you on the condition of them, coming as they did from one coast 
to the other." 
From Emily Post, Edgartown, Mass.: “The plants were too wonderful— 
I have never seen such splendid clumps. I am sure they will 'behave' 
beautifully and be a credit to us both." 
“PROVE ALL THINGS" 
La Jolla, Calif.: “As I said in a former letter, I had tremendous success 
with your seed last year. As an experiment, I sent to .. to 
•.. and also .. England, and a firm in the South 
in this country, and yours were the outstanding plants, by far."
