Dear Sirs: 
I am enclosing an order for more of 
your bulbs, I bought bulbs from you 
for the first time last fall. To say I 
was pleased with them is an under- 
statement. I’ve never had Daffodil 
bulbs that bloomed like yours did. Just 
as an example, I planted 6 Lord Well- 
ington Daffodils. The 6 bulbs had 14 
flowers and simply enormous ones at 
that. Everyone who saw them admired 
their size and beauty. 
Some of the bulbs in this order I 
intend to present as an ‘‘ahead-of-time”’ 
Christmas gift to a very dear friend. 
I would appreciate it if you would 
mail your catalog to the following two 
names as | know they intend to buy 
bulbs this fall, 
Bolton, Mass. 
Dear Sirs: 
I have received the 100 red-cupped 
Narcissus bulbs also the 12 Red Rocket 
Tulip bulbs, and every one is a fine, 
healthy, large bulb. I am very much 
satisfied with all of them. Am having 
a great time planting them. 
Thanks so much for your fine service.

Dear Sir: 
Last fall I purchased some Dutch 
Crocus from you. They were lovely, 
large bulbs but this spring I have 
counted ten blossoms from one bulb! 
Is this unusual or are they just that 
much better? Some magazine said the 
Dutch Crocus were not as good as 
usual. All I can say is this: If the 
bulbs I got were not up to par for 
heaven's sake what is par? 
I'll be back again this fall. My only 
wish js that the Hollander who grew 
my prize Crocus could know how 
pleased I am with them. 
Yours truly, 
MRS. THAIN WHITE.

Dear Sirs: 
Last fall I ordered from you Hya- 
cinths. They proved themselves to be 
the most beautiful we have ever en- 
joyed, and were greatly admired by all 
our friends and neighbors. 
I herewith enclose order and check 
for more Hyacinths and a few other 
bulbs, though I have little room for 
anything more. 
Thanking you, I am, 
Very sincerely, 
MRS. R. W. DE LAMEETER.

Dear Sirs: 
Last fall I put out 100 yellow and 
white Tulip bulbs that came from your 
place, and I must tell you my joy in 
them. I had 100 blooms from the 100 
bulbs, which I thought a bit unusual 
for every one to produce such fine 
flowers. Am sending another order for 
Tulips and Lilacs. I peruse the other 
catalogs, but always end by placing my 
order with you—due to the wonderful 
bulbs I always get. 
Sincerely, 
MRS. H. C. ZILFORD, Sr.

Gentlemen: 
Last fall I ordered $35.00 in bulbs 
from. you and I’m simply amazed at 
the way they are growing. Before I 
could mulch my beds in January the 
Tulips were up an inch. Now they are 
3 to 4 inches out of the ground and the 
fattest shoots you ever saw. Now I can 
hardly wait for the blooming season. 
Just received my February issue of 
the Garden Book and saw your full page 
ad. Was very pleased to find you also 
carry a stock of spring bulbs and would 
like very much to have your new folder 
on these. 
If possible, put me on your mailing 
list for all folders as they are printed, 
as I’m always making room for some- 
thing else in the garden, 
Thanking you in advance, one of your 
most satished customers. 
Yours truly,
