but they are too fine to miss. Each selection a perfect gem.

but earlier flowering variety, to Los Angeles. Those who take pride in growing the finest types of

Gentlemen : April 10, 1937. 
I planted some of your Aster seeds Saturday 
P. M. and some were up Monday and more to¬ 
day. They sure look good. Planted some I got in 
N. Y. and they are not up. I knew when I opened 
your seeds that they were the best seeds. This is 
the first time I ever bought of you (I mean this 
year). I am also planting your Crego Asters.
