“I want you to know how pleased I am with the 
seedlings I got from you this spring. I let a few of 
them bloom and they were wonderful. I have raised 
my Delphiniums from seeds and I have some very 
fine hybrids, but now I can get such fine seedlings 
from you, 1 wouldn’t bother with seeds anymore.”

“Just a word of appreciation for the very satis¬ 
factory way in which you handled my order for ten 
dozen seedlings. I can quite agree with one of your 
customers whom you quoted as saying: ‘These are 
not seedlings—they’re plants.’ The packing was very 
well done and they all arrived in fine condition.”

“Yesterday my February Flower Grower came 
and when I saw your two page ad my enthusiasm 
verged on hysteria. I sent for your list last fall, and 
Mrs. Mannfeld of my Garden Club, and I, combined 
an order and sent to you. We were both quite 
amazed and pleased with the so-called seedlings 
you sent. The only root systems I ever saw to 
compare to yours were in pictures. It is too early 
to predict how they have survived but if there is 
any loss it will certainly not be the fault of Richards 
Gardens. This all sounds slightly exaggei’ated and 
flattering, but I assure you I am sincere in my ap¬ 
preciation of your splendid plants.
