LETTERS OF APPRECIATION 
Southbridge, Mass. 
May 19 
I want to thank you for your kind treatment for the 
extras. All the stock you sent arrived in fine condition, just 
as I expected it would do; and allow me to congratulate you 
on your fine packing system. I have been receiving plants 
and roots for over 30 years, both in this country and the 
old country, but yours is the tops. The weather here is very 
cold and rainy, but the plants are standing up fine, all 
credit due to your fine healthy stock; mine is all Zant's, 
don’t wish for any other. MR. D. Y.

The Dahlia plant and roots were received this morning. 
From past experience I expected good stock and was not 
disappointed.

The order of plants and tubers shipped from Grand 
Rapids yesterday morning reached me last night at 6:30 
p.m., in fine shape and I am more than grateful to you for 
the extra tubers. I must say I think you are a good mind 
reader as I wanted California Idol and it made me very 
happy to find it among the tubers I got. MRS. R. S. 
Excelsior Springs, Mo.

tion. Many thanks for the wonderful extras. J. E.

The dahlia plants arrived in fine condition. Am looking 
forward to blooming time, as I hope to have some nice 
blooms. I thank you for the extra one you sent with my 
order. Q. E. L.

The flowers were so beautiful that we had the best gar¬ 
den in Ryle Park. Everybody stopped to look, also all autos 
stopped at the corner to take a peek. Some of the flowers 
stood eight feet high. Nine big flowers of the Murphy’s 
Masterpiece were the size of a dinner plate. 
MRS. A. De V. 
Mechanicsville, Iowa. 
Just a few lines on how I fared with your Dahlias this 
year. Our garden was the talk of our town as you will see 
by the local newspaper clipping which I enclose. 
Murphy’s Masterpiece won the crown with two 12-inch 
and four 11-inch flowers out at one time. It was wonderful. 
Mrs. Cornelia B. Pinchot is simply superb. America’s 
Sweetheart a regular giant, it had four open at once so 
close together it looked like one flower two feet across. 
My brother in Europe also had wonderful success with the 
roots you sent him, blooms up to 14 inches across he wrote. 
Please send your new catalog as early as possible and 
thank you. REV. H. F.
