LYONDEL seeds produced the most magnificent plants and tlow- 
ers we have ever seen; glamour girls of delphinium family. 
Ethel C. House, Naples, N. Y.-—Your seeds produced some very 
beautiful plants. One of them had soft orchid flowers over 
three inches across. Fred E. Collins, W. atertown, N. Y.—I have 
had seeds from you for a number of years, and always with the 
greatest of satisfaction. The bloom this year is better than 
ever. Fully 70 per cent of the whites gave flat, wide-open 
florets over three inches across. H. E. Wilson, Granville, N. Y. 
—From your seeds I have had a goodly number of plants with 
three inch flowers, and a wonderful color selection, T. A. Lentz, 
Youngstown, O.—We used to think that the earlier LYONDELS 
were something to rave about, but the last lot tops them all. 
L. D. Rich, Mechaniesville, Pa—My delphiniums from your 
seeds are in bloom, and all of them are outstanding. The 
winters here are very harsh, but your seedlings came through 
very well. D. W. Bratt, Racine, Wise-—From your seed I 
produced the best delphiniums that the public had ever seen. 
E. Winkel, Clintonville, Wise—The Lyonprts are still tops so 
far as colors, shades, and size are concerned. Rev. Ph. Hartwig, 
Hartland, Wise-—My exhibit of delphiniums from vour seeds 
was the sensation of the local flower show. I got a blue ribbon 
and the honor of the best exhibition of the entire show. Mrs. 
C. L. Weis, La Cresse, Wise.
