to raise delphinium and try something like corn or beans .”—B. H. Arnold.

“Out of one packet fo your mixed seed I raised 164 plants. I have grown a lot 
of delphinium from imported and native seed, but neither I, nor any other fan around 
this section, have ever seen anything to compare with your strain. The flowering 
spikes are from 38 to 42 inches long, with blooms 2% to 3% inches across. Your strain 
has more high grade plants than any other I have ever seen .”—Nathan Patton.

to give over the greater part of my grounds to your stock .”-—Burkard & Cole, Del¬ 
phinium Growers. 
Crafton, Pittsburgh, Pa., May 29, 1938

get more than value received .”—Mrs. F. C. Biggert.

“Each year I feel that I have delphiniums that are good enough for a king, but 
then when your catalog comes along, the temptation is too great to see what improve¬ 
ment you have made over last year’s production; I just can’t resist. This has hap¬ 
pened to me for the past several years because I am really convinced that your seeds 
can’t be surpassed .”-—O. A. Garff.
