Dear Mr. Stewart: 
Mrs. Walter P. Chrysler is delighted with 
the gladiolus you have named in her honor. It is very 
beautiful indeed, and distinctly an addition to the 
gladiolus family. 
My own gardens this year have been somewhat 
of a disappointment - but the wonderful showing of gladioli, 
all from your bulbs, has made up for everything. 
I have never seen such beautiful blossoms - 
tall and strong and powerful - they run the gamut of beauty 
and color and outlast any cut flowers I have ever hadl 
I know the lifetime of devotion you have 
given to perfecting the gladiolus, and you may well feel 
that you have not lived in vain. 
My compliments and esteem.

While I am normally modest, it is with some degree of pride that I publish this 
letter (with the Major’s kind permission) which speaks very clearly for itself. This 
is but one of many, many letters I receive of this nature, all of them being equally 
sincere in their expressions. I am indeed grateful for them and thank each one of 
you kindly for having written me. I can assure you there will be extended and 
constant effort on our part to please you, that we may warrant the continued 
receipt of such inspiring letters.
