Gentlemen :— I would like to tell you that the 30-cent collection advertised this spring in the I.adies’ Home Journal was 
far more than my wildest anticipation ever pictured. The Crimson Queen Canna had four beautiful large bunches of 
splendid, orchid-like flowers. Also the seeds were a garden by themselves, but I did just as you said—planted everything in^ 
the house first, so if any one complains it is not your fault, but their neglect or careless attention
