Dear Sirs: 
After planting my shipment of bulbs 
today that I had received from you, 
I just felt that I had to write you and 
thank you for my order. My bulbs 
were so nice and the way in which you 
had them wrapped, labeled, and packed 
was wonderful. It was indeed a pleas- 
ure to work with them. 
Again thanking you for my order, 
I am yours respectfully, 
MRS. D. A. DOMAINE. 
I would like to have your catalog 
again next spring.

Dear Sirs: 
I am enclosing a money order for 
$4.00 for bulbs and plants and I would 
like to have them as soon as you can 
send them. 
I want to thank you for sending me 
just the finest Hyacinth bulbs last fall. 
When they were in flower last spring 
they were magnificent. 
Please send a garden friend of mine 
your 1943 catalog as I think he is plan- 
ning on getting some bulbs. 
With best wishes for your future. 
Yours truly, 
R. H. DEGNEAU.

Dear Sirs: 
Several years ago I had Tulip bulbs 
from you. They were the loveliest Tu- 
lips I ever had. I still have some of 
the lovely Queen of the North in my 
garden. I am wondering what you will 
have in bulbs this fall. If you will have 
a catalog, if so will you please send me 
one. I am also interested in Jonquil 
bulbs for fall planting. 
Thanking you, I remain, 
MRS. HARRY C. SHIFFLER.

Gentlemen: 
I am enclosing a picture of my Hip- 
peastrum Amaryllis to show the two- 
blossom stalks. I had never seen one 
before, have you? 
You can see the shadow of the four 
large blooms on the side of the house. 
About two weeks later the other stalk 
had four large blooms. They were dark 
ted with white centers. 
Very truly, 
MRS. W. M. BOWLES.

Dear Sirs: 
When a neighbor recently handed me 
your fall, 1943, catalog, I felt that I 
had an old and much loved friend. As 
years creep upon me I find myself less 
able to garden, consequently don’t order 
every year, thus being dropped from 
mail list. I have kept the old copies 
of your catalogs from which I ordered 
years ago and still enjoy them and re- 
fer to them for accurate information of 
my much loved bulbs. My collection 
of Narcissi numbers nearly 200 named 
varieties and how I love them. 
I just couldn’t resist making up this 
sail order on the -tempting _ order 
blank. Wish it were more. 
Thank you kindly, 
MRS. LEE J. WATKINS.
