Toronto, Canada, Aug. 27, 1940 
We have grown good delphiniums here for the past fifteen years and have seen 
some wonderful spikes at the Canadian National Exhibition, but the bloom from 
your sced far surpassed anything previously seen anywhere. The first thing that. 
impressed me was the clearness of color, the intense beauty of the flower, especially 
the light lavenders, something that I hoped to see some day but never had up td 
now. Next come the size and the beautiful shape of the flowers and spikes; tall, 
pyramidal spikes over seven feet tall and with flowers up to three and three quarter 
inches across.—Ernest B. Pegg. 
Northfield, Minn., July 11, 1940 
The delphiniums from your last year’s seeds are perfectly stunning, the loveliest 
and the largest I have ever had.—Elizabeth Nutting. 
Northbrook, Ill, August 1, 1940 
I have had cxcellent results with your seeds, and the flowers they have gwen 
me have been beautiful. Yours is by far the finest delphinium today.—Northbrook 
Dahlia Gardens. 
Waterbury, Conn., August 12, 1940 
The seeds I recewed from you were sown on August 3, and today, nine days later 
the seedlings are popping through the ground; the very earliest I have ever ger- 
minated delphinium seeds. 
I guess I must be u nut, for I cannot keep out of the garden when I am at 
home; and many times I have gone out in the rain to give my delphiniums the once 
over. Their colors are indescribable. The phrases ‘‘exotic’’ or ‘*heavenly’’ and 
the like are trite. The nearest new phrase I can think of ts ‘‘unearthly beauty ;’’ 
and that is inadequate. Some of my Lyondels attained a height of seven feet, and 
ugain I had flowers 35% inches in diameter; many were three inches.—L. H. Hill. 
Schenectady, N. Y., August 20, 1940 
The delphiniums from your seeds are much admired by all who see them.—John 
A. Henry. 
Perintown, Ohio, June 20, 1940 
The maiden flowers from your seed are perfectly beautiful, with a promise of 
magnificent blooms next year. I had never before seen pure lilac self, and your 
whites are outstanding, as they all are.—Mrs. G. 8. Groesbeck. 
Logan, Utah, June 6, 1940 
IT am convinced that you are either the best salesman in the world or the biggest 
bluffer in the United States; or are you? My sticking with you as evidence that 
I think you have ‘‘It’’ both in werds and seeds—O. A. Garff. 
Youngstown, Ohio, July, 1940 
My delphiniuums from your seeds are glorious, much finer than other strains, and 
always producing some breath-taking combinations that amaze me.—Mrs. Charles T. 
Gaither. 
Elizabeth, Pa., August 20, 1940 
I had wonderful delphiniums from your 1939 seeds; long spikes, double flowers 
and a beautiful variety of colors-——John Andrews. 
Dayton, Ohio, July, 1940 
The seed I purchased from you germinated almost 100 percent and produced 
several outstanding plants, and no poor ones at all—Mys. John W. Aull. 
Wheeling, W. Va., Sept. 23, 1940 
I have 129 seedlings from your 100-seed packet. Pretty good, don’t yow think? 
—Mrs. Russell B. Bailey. 
Fishkill, N. Y., July, 1940 
I have grown your delphiniums with great success and pleasure for the last ten 
years.—Mrs. Stephen W. Blodgett.
