“When the gardener set out the tulip and daf¬ 
fodil bulbs last fall, which I had purchased 
from you, he said that they were the finest 
he had ever seen. The garden has been a riot 
of color. The daffodils were lovely especially 
Mrs. Nette O’Melveny and Atropos. I have 
never seen such stems as on the Bronze Queen 
tulips.” Mrs. H. F. M., California.

“The bulbs I received from you last fall 
were fine, bloomed 100 per cent and first class 
flowers. Last year what took me with your 
catalog were the youngsters on the 2nd page, 
and again this year.” Mr. O. L. W., New 
Hampshire.
