Gentlemen : The seedlings I ordered recently arrived today and never 
before did I see plants so healthy as to their roots and packed so care- 
fully. ol feel sure I am to be pleasantly surprised next summer when 
they are in bloom. No wonder vou have a large business and I have no 
reason to shop anywhere else for perennials. Your directions for plant- 
ing are most helpful and I don’t know when I have been so well pleased 
with any purchase I have made before. 
Sincerely, Mrs. T. H. Lewis.
