An Unsolicited Letter 
Mr. J. I. Hoopes, 14909 Reddington Ave., Bedford, 
Ohio, September 26, 1939, writes:— 
Just a few words of praise for your flower seeds. 
This year practically all my seeds were secured from 
you, and must say I’ve had better success with them 
than when secured from expensive Houses. Especially 
your Double Petunias were 100% successful. Am en¬ 
closing several pictures of certain sections of my garden 
which you may use any way you see fit. 
Trust that you may continue selling your good seeds. 
As proof that our Seeds are as good as can be pro¬ 
duced we print above an unsolicited letter from one of 
our customers, of Bedford, a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio. 
The Garden Club in conjunction with the Cleveland 
Press conducted a Flower Garden Contest, and Mr. 
Hoopes won Frist Prize for Cleveland and Suburbs. We 
have photos of his Garden but for lack of room regret 
we cannot show them on this page. 
If anyone has occasion to write Air, Hoopes, please 
include 3c stamp for reply.
