FROM A PENNSYLVANIA CUSTOMER 
“A few lines to let you know that I had the best sweet peas from your seed 
I have had in thirty-five years. I ordered in March a few gladiolus and sweet 
peas. They grew 614 feet tall, some had seven and eight inch stems, some four 
florets on the stem, and they lasted seven weeks before the stocks died out. I was 
more than pleased with your seed.”’ 
“Blue Aquilegia I have grown from your seed have produced beautiful 
flowers. Stems forty inches.”
