Dear Sir: . : 
As soon as your fall catalog is ready, 
please send me one so I can place my 
order as early as possible. Had such 
marvelous results with your Hyacinths 
and Tulips—don’t know how I'd do 
without them. Sincerely, 
MRS. A. A. SHAW.

I think my garden is the handsomest 
when the Tulips and Iris are out. I re- 
ceived many compliments on the new 
varieties received from you last year.

Thank you very much for the grand 
bulbs sent by you last year. My 
Amaryllis is now blooming indoors. 
It’s a beauty.

Dear Sirs: : 
Some time ago I ordered Hyacinth 
and Tulip bulbs from you and while 
I did not get as many colors in the\ 
Hyacinths as advertised, I want to tell 
you what gorgeous blossoms I 
I never saw larger blooms and the Tu- 
lips in bloom right now attract much © 
attention. They are a beautiful display 
from pure white to almost black. I made 
them rich and some stems are 27 inches. 
I had to stake most of them. 
Respectfully, 
MRS. GRACE.

Gentlemen: 
Please send bulbs as early as possible 
as I want them for house plants. 
Last year I planted two bulbs and 
they were so beautiful all summer I de- 
cided to plant more this year. 
Thank you,

Gentlemen: 
The White Hyacinth bulbs which 
you sent September 19, 1943, have been 
very lovely and were all in bloom by 
January 21st. I’ve had them at church. 
and at home where every one was prais- 
ing their beauty. My pink did not 
bloom quite so early but every one will 
have a fine blossom. 
Many of my friends are surprised to 
know that it is possible to still buy 
bulbs for forcing. 
Thanks to you for the pleasure I have ~ 
had in being able to have such fine 
blooms at ‘this time of year. 
Sincerely yours, 
MRS. IRA M. YOUNG.

Gentlemen: 
Kindly send me this year’s prices and - 
catalog of tuber-rooted Begonias. The ~ 
bulbs. that I received from you last 
spring produced the most beautiful flow- 
ers that I have ever raised, but they 
were all shades of red. This year I will 
try other colors. Thank you.
