Dear Sir: Last fall | bought twenty-four pyrethrum from an add 
in the paper. 
They are magnificent this spring. The color range is unusual; that 
is, SO many different shades of red and pink and such long stems. ‘Some 
have a thirty-inch stem. 
So often when one buys a collection the colors are all the same. 
| am very pleased with them and will be on the look-out for your 
advertisement.— Hope L. Smith.
