A number of Suffragette growers have been' requested for an 
expression of their experience with the Suffragettes during the past 
season, and although it was the most unfavorable on record and 
the Suffragettes nearly a month late, with but few exceptions 
great satisfaction and enthusiasm was expressed for them as 
shown by the testimonials, some of which are reproduced. 
There were a few who reported that their results were not en¬ 
tirely satisfactory; this can only be explained by season and local 
conditions. We have grown and have sold this strain of cosmos 
for many years, each year’s sales having been much larger than 
the preceding one, last year surpassing by far all previous years, 
and at this time, notwithstanding the unusually unfavorable sea¬ 
son, the outlook for the coming season is far better than last year 
at this date. This should be convincing evidence of the Suffra¬ 
gettes’ success. 
We earnestly refer you to our motto: “If you like us tell others; 
if you do not like us, tell us.” We want to hear from any dis¬ 
satisfied purchaser just as much as the satisfied one, that we may 
have an opportunity to make good. 
This year the seed will be sown under glass, which should in¬ 
sure their early growth and advance the shipment of the plants by 
several weeks. The plants are all taken up and re-planted at least 
once to insure the shipment of good, sturdy and healthy plants. 
We confidently expect this year to have earlier cosmos and to give 
better satisfaction than ever before. 
Look over the testimonials; every one is genuine, and we have 
the originals on' file to show if desired. You can have the same 
satisfying results if you grow the Suffragettes.
