I wish to compliment you for the quality Lily bulls 
you sent us last Fall. We had the finest Lilies for 
Easter of any place in the State. Many of the sur¬ 
rounding growers tried to make us believe we had 
Harrisii, judging from their size. The count was 
unusual, some carrying fourteen Yowers, and out of 
the two cases, we lost but two plants. Every fin¬ 
ished plant was sold by Saturday night.

It has just occurred to me that you might be inter¬ 
ested in knowing that out of six cases of Giganteum, 
200 each, I threw out exactly eight plants. This con¬ 
stitutes something of a record with me, even with 
your superior bulbs. The count ran high and the bells 
were unusually large and firm. 
Your Paper Whites are also of superior quality. I 
have had excellent results and consider them equal 
to the French bulbs.
