A Word of Appreciation to Our Customers 
And From Them 
Shipments are sometimes delayed when adverse weather retards 
bloom; when storms prevent digging; when many want the same 
colors and time must elapse for more plants to flower; heavy advance 
orders; and occasionally when orders swamp us. We wish to thank 
our customers for their understanding which has always been such an 
incentive to give our best and to dispatch orders with all possible 
promptness. 
Orders are given personal attention and great care is taken to 
assure your pleasure. That we have succeeded in pleasing our 
patrons is evidenced by the constant notes of appreciation received. 
Not so much as a matter of pride as assurance to those who are 
ordering for the first time we reprint several of these spontaneous 
notes. 
Glencoe, Illinois: “I want to tell you that I have been growing 
hardy Primulas for years but I have never seen a more wonderful 
strain than I received from you.” 
Iowa City, Iowa: “When I opened that box of Primroses from 
you I had the thrill of my life. Never in any country did I ever see 
anything like the Asiatics. I am still too overcome to believe my 
good fortune.” 
Greenwood, R. I.: “The Primroses I got from you last season 
are beyond any I’ve ever raised, simply beautiful.” 
Kingsport, Tenn.: “The Prims came the other day—in fine 
shape. You certainly sent me some fine varieties and were more 
than generous.” 
Denmark, Iowa: “Just a card of appreciation for the very fine 
Primrose plants I received from you a week or so ago. They came 
through in fine shape. ... They have gone right.on growing as 
though they had never been moved. The ones received from you last 
year are blooming now and we are enjoying them so much.” 
Baraboo, Wis.: “The seedlings from your hand-pollinated seeds 
are showing some fine specimens and colorings.” 
Akron, Ohio: “My plants arrived in fine condition. My seed is 
coming up nicely now which was planted just ten days ago.” 
St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada. You should hear what the people 
around here say when they visit my garden. They never saw such 
beautiful Polyanthus.” 
Review in the St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada, Times-Journal: 
“Among the choicest items in Mr. Pletsch’s gardens this spring are 
his giant-flowered Polyantha Primroses propagated from _hand- 
pollinated Oregon seed. The Primroses are unquestionably the 
largest-flowered strain ever grown in local gardens, dwarfing many 
of the so-called giant strains that have been in production. Not only 
are these Oregon Primroses outstanding in size, both of the individual 
florets and clusters, but the colors are most unusual. It is difficult 
to find two plants with flowers exactly alike. Some of the contrasts 
in the rich yellows and bright scarlets and crimsons of these flowers 
are almost startling.”
