“/ can't wait until the season is over to tell you how much joy and pleasure my glads 
are giving me, and my friends and neighbors too. They are marvelous! A neighbor, to 
whom I took a big bouquet today, showed them to her brother who has resided in California 
for many years, whose comment was, ‘California hasn't anything on those' Many of 
my blooms are 6" Sz 7" across. I have a stalk of BEACON with the first bloom nearly 
7" across. It is a gorgeous thing. Thank you for such fine bulbs. They are much the best 
I have ever bought." Marian E. Hague, Gorham, Maine.
