While the corms were as you stated, small, they all bloomed. They were 
not only entirely new varieties to me, but also very beautiful. The individual 
blossoms on the stalks were large, and although the season being rainy and 
dark, was not favorable, still I had entirely satisfactory results.

I am delighted with the Gladioli bulbs, Gold Medal and Silver Trophy Strain 
which I purchased of you in May. They blossomed finely the last of August, 
and were exquisitely beautiful, their rich tints rivalling orchids. The blossoms 
excited the admiration of all who saw them. 
I was awarded a special prize for them at our County Fair.

The Gladioli I received from you were the finest I have ever seen, they 
grew so strong and increased wonderfully.

Some months since you sent me a package of your Gladioli. They have 
been, and part now are in bloom and are indeed remarkably fine. There 
are a few of extraordinary beauty and elegance of color. As I wrote you I have 
been a grower of Gladioli for many years and have had many fine flowers, but 
yours are far superior.

My stock all grew splendidly and when the flowers came I felt well repaid 
for the cost of the bulbs. No one in this vicinity had seen a blue Gladiolus, > 
and my row of 100 blues attracted much attention. I am much obliged to you 
for supplying me with such fine stock of my favorite flower.

My Gladioli were a triumphant success and I want now to engage for 
next year . bulbs from your Gold Medal Collection, sections two and 
three; also I want.of your Special Selections.
