It is with pleasure I write you my experience with the bulbs ordered from 
you last Spring, but really find myself quite inadequate to the task. The 
blooms were so beautiful and each day developed something so new and so 
wonderful that they baffle description. I exhibited thirty spikes at our Floral 
meeting and you should have heard the exclamations of delight at the sight.

The Gladioli we bought of you this Spring have given us a great deal of 
pleasure. They are really grand in diversity of color, size of flower spikes 
and of the individual flowers as well as in the exquisite penciling and markings 
of some of them.

Last April I sent you an order for small bulbs of Groff’s Hybrids. It was 
with some interest that we noted the first signs of flowering, as we were not 
prepared to expect more than a few blooms from these small bulbs this 
season, and we are surprised and delighted at the full and magnificent blooms 
produced. We felt as though it were a speculation instead of an investment, 
but feel well repaid for cost and care of bulbs. Thank you that your catalogue 
fell into our hands.

The Gladioli bulbs I had from you last Spring have been extremely satis¬ 
factory, the largest blooms I ever saw and some of the most remarkable 
colors. I propose to have a thousand more next year.

The flowers from the bulbs secured from you have attracted the attention 
of every flower lover in our village, and the verdict is unanimous that such 
beautiful Gladioli have never been grown in this section before.

The Gladiolus is certainly the people’s flower. The bulbs of the Silver 
Trophy Strain were very fine. Another Spring I shall order more.

The Gladiolus bulbs, Silver Trophy Strain, which I purchased of you last 
Spring have just ceased blooming. The blues were grand and the reds un¬ 
equalled. Every bulb bloomed to perfection.
