Miss M. A., Atlanta, Ga. “My package ar- 
rived today and I am very much pleased with 
my purchase. Your packing is just about per- 
pects 
H. M., Palo Alto, Calif., “Received my Lily 
bulbs a few days ago and have never received 
nicer bulbs from anywhere, and so perfectly 
packed.” 
L. B. G., Oakland, Calif., “Your bulbs are 
the finest we ever had—they came so well 
packed and I like the way you send them, as 
they are dug, instead of all in one order.’ 
If you think Lilies may be difficult— 
Mrs. L. N. L. Ellicott City, Maryland, writes, 
“But this year, without servants, my little 
garden had to look after itself to a large 
extent and I found out the value of Lilies.’ 
If you make them happy, they stay with you 
for many years. Who could ask for more en- 
trancing guests?
