Hot Springs, S. D. 
Sept. 20, 1938. 
Enclosed find my order 
for bulbs for forcing and 
outdoor planting. I had such 
wonderful success zvith the 
bulbs last year. We had 
bozuls of beautiful Golden 
Spur daffodils tzeo months 
during Jan. and Feb. Some 
of them bloomed for three 
zeeeks at a time. a>id Kin° 
Alfreds that zee planted 
outdoors were simply gor¬ 
geous. I think you will re¬ 
ceive more orders from this 
locality this fall, as zee had 
many people drive in to ad¬ 
mire our daffodils and ask 
zvherc zee got the bulbs. Be 
sure to keep our name on 
your mailing list.
