-I can assure you they are one of the handsomest specimens which 
ever came to the Catskill Mountains, being admired by everybody, and you 
certainly deserve credit for your skill and art in producing these Gladioli. The 
different shades of color and the artistic designs upon them are beautiful. In 
looking at them, every minute you discover something different, and new in 
color. Only sorry to state that the pleasure to enjoy them was so short, as the 
season in the mountains this year was rather poor for flowers.

The Gladiolus bulbs you sent me produced the largest and most beautiful 
flowers I ever saw. I am more than pleased.

As regards the Midway Collection purchased from you last Spring, they 
have bloomed well, and the colors have been fine, and the size satisfactory. 
Another Spring I shall order more, as I like them better than any bulbs I have 
had before. 
Vermont, Sept., 1902. MRS. JOEL H. G-. 
I write to tell you of my beautiful blossoms. I have several of the coveted 
blues and heliotrope colors, a few dark red and several oddly marked. I am 
more than satisfied. I hope to purchase next Spring some of your higher 
priced bulbs. 
New York, Aug. 24th, 1902. MRS. L. N. B-. 
Your Midway Collection as ordered by me in early Spring, proved all 
you claimed them to be, in fact they were the finest Gladioli I have ever had 
in my collection, and I shall take pleasure in recommending you to friends who 
desire bulbs of the higher order. 
New York, Sept. 10th, 1902. E. E. D-. 
I have to report that we had a most favorable season for Gladioli blooms, 
and having them mulched with straw, I had some of the largest and best 
Gladioli I ever saw. In quality, the three sections (Gold Medal and Silver 
Trophy) I received from you two years ago, were the best. 
Two bulbs of the first section (Dark Shades) produced flower stems that 
were immense, nearly five feet high, and of such vigor, constitution, and sun- 
resisting qualities, that I kept them separate to breed up in future a sun-proof 
strain.
