Though I had some fine ones before, the Buffalo Mixture far surpassed them.

Please be so kind to send me one of your catalogues. Lately I have seen 
Mrs. - collection of Gladioli she obtained of you, and they were most 
beautiful. I could hardly believe Gladioli could be so superb. Mrs. - 
is a member of our State Floral Society. Thanking you in advance for the cat¬ 
alogue.

The Gladioli, Gold Medal and Silver Trophy Strain, were very much ad¬ 
mired by all who saw them. I hope to send for more of other varieties another 
spring.

The Silver Trophy Strain you sent me last Spring were planted and grown 
by me this season with the result to justify me in saying “grand.” 
I think the Hybrids are the largest in flower and suit me about as well as 
any for general cutting.

We were very much pleased with the Gladiolus. They are the finest collec¬ 
tion that we have ever seen, and the flowers were very much admired by all 
who saw them.

I have just cut the last spikes of Gladioli from the three sections you sent 
me last Spring and I want to tell you that they were simply grand. The colors 
were certainly wonderful. With best wishes for your further success in their 
cultivation.
