Superior, Wisconsin, March Leo ais : 
Dear Mr. Pudor: 
Will have to report on the baby seedling delphiniums you sent me the fall of 1939. The Eng- 
lish named varieties were all you claimed for them; beautiful doubles all but one. The prize of 
the lot had a bloom like Nora Ferguson but growth as Mrs. Newton Lees—this baby seedling 
of yours set out September 6, 1939 was six feet tall in July 1940! The second growth came up 
with three stalks a yard high and in full bloom in September. One seedling resembled Sir 
Neville Pearson, another Isla, and a third was a beautiful double white which bloomed twice. 
Your 55/66 seedlings were also extra fine. It may interest you to know that three out of 
about 40 were lovely double whites—one with a black bee. Another I am taking especial care 
of is a beautiful sky blue and lavender, ranunculus-flowered double. In closing will say your 
baby seedlings are tops! Yours very truly, N. A. D.

T want to tell you what wonderful success I have had with your delphinium seed. I had 
one plant of White Wonder with coal black bees. I have a small white seedling from the 
Prize Winner strain—these are all the most beautiful plants of the kind I have seen grown 
in this section of Vermont. All plants have started well this spring. They are a great joy 
to myself and my friends. The Russell lupins have come on well, too.

Gentlemen: 
I want to tell you what wonderful success I had with your 55/66 delphinium seeds. Last 
season there were 60 plants in bloom at one time, all gorgeous in color and size. Nearly all 
double; 12 were white, 4 with black bees, 5 brown centers, and the others pure white. One 
plant was pink with five spikes each 5 feet high. My friends all raved about them.

Junction City, Oregon, March 27, 1941. 
Dear Sirs: 
Early this month I sent for and received your catalog and Russell lupin seed. Last year 
I purchased 10 seeds at 15c elsewhere and only one germinated then after six weeks. I filed 
through the seed coats of the seed I received from you, inoculated with nitrogen and planted; 
two weeks from planting date I am glad to report 100 per cent germination on these 21 seeds. 
Respectfully, MRS. E. M. H. 
Celina, Ohio, Jan, 1941. 
Dear Sir: 
I have never reported on my success with delphinium seed. In fall 1939 I received $1.00 
package of Pudor’s Pacific Giants and $1.00 pkt. of Pudor’s Prize Winner seed. I made cold 
frame the size of an old screen door, then my bed filler per your catalog instructions—spaced 
and nailed lath on screen door frame and covered with two thicknesses of old worn muslin. 
A worn sheet folded once—kept seed moist, not too wet. They were up in two weeks. I 
brought to light gradually, removed one layer of muslin, then the second layer; after a time 
I removed every other lath, etc. Spring 1940 I transplanted once, to permanent location. 
They all bloomed early fall 1940. I have 94 plants, and took first at show in September. It 
keeps me busy informing people where I got my seed mixture. I also gave many plants away. 
I have the best delphiniums, and the best collection of color I have seen any place, including 
commercial sales greenhouses, and I do visit all gardens looking for something worthwhile 
and out of the ordinary. Thanks sincerely, MRS. B. A.

I like your plants and seed so much! The plants are splendid, vigorous specimens and 
the seed just wonderful in germination. On DUsave

Dear Sirs: : 
Though late doing so, I do want to tell you what fine plants you have sent each time I 
order. It is a pleasure to do business with you. Very truly, N. R. 

Camp Hill, Penna., June 1, 1941. 
Your seeds have proven so very satisfactory and have germinated better than any others 
I have planted. Canterbury bells last year from your seed were a real joy to behold! 
Yours truly, MRS. C. E. P.
