California, Dec. 28, 1934: “I must tell you, your Calypso 
Day Lily has not been out of blossom one day since the 
middle of July and though the leaves are gone, the flower 
stalks are going strong.” 
Almost daily I receive inquiries, asking if it is possible 
for me to ship plants safely to the East. I think that the fol¬ 
lowing letters from customers will still any doubts on this 
point:

tion and we are exceptionally well pleased with them. Had 
we known that they would have arrived in such order we 
would have taken dozens instead of singles.”
