‘‘From six packets of your seeds I have over 700 very fine seedlings... From a 
former sowing of a packet of your seeds I saved some 70 plants from an accidental 
freeze; 59 of these bloomed their ^naiden spike. I am cutting the good old adjectives 
about them and will only say I did not know there were such animals. A very largf^ 
percentage proved excellent, and there were some over which we got very much excited. 
There was one with clear and bright purple sepals and luhite eyes; another one has, 
us all agog, a smoky pastel ivith a tinge of talisman rose.” —A. C. Brushwiller.

all good.” —J. P. Wm. Ritter.
