Dear Sirs: 
I received the plants of Joyce Louise, and 
wish to report they arrived in excellent con¬ 
dition. I consider them the best green 
plants I have ever received, and that in¬ 
cludes the ones I purchased right here in 
Southern California. 
Not a leaf on any plant was damaged, and 
they looked as if they had just been taken 
from the greenhouse when they arrived here. 
I want to compliment you on your ability 
to propagate, grow, and ship dahlia plants. 
Sincerely, 
Sterling Tompkins.

“The packing was the most unique I have 
ever seen. The sturdy plants hardly knew 
they were being moved.”

“Rudolf’s Giant was the strongest grow¬ 
ing plant in our garden. It bloomed just 
right for our Fall Show. We entered 3 
blooms and won the blue ribbon for the 
largest and best 3 blooms in that class.”
