In Appreciation 
Were it not for the stimulus of your friendship, our work would 
be neither so pleasant nor successful. We appreciate also your under- 
standing when rush seasons or adverse weather conditions cause tem- 
porary short delays. You make it a pleasure for us to give our best 
and to personally oversee your orders. 
To assure those of you who are ordering for the first time of our 
desire to please, the following excerpts have been selected from the 
many notes of appreciation our customers send. 
Seattle: “I thought you might enjoy a report on your blue Polyanthus 
seed. I have 112 plants transplanted with their first true leaf a tiny 
speck. They were planted five weeks ago.” 
Berlin, New Hampshire: “The Primulas arrived today in excellent 
condition and I am delighted with them.” 
Elmira, New York: “The Primroses from Barnhaven arrived here 
on Sept. Ist and were soon in the garden. They seem to be well 
established now (Sept. 28th), with some budding.” 
Downingtown, Penna:: “The splendid Primrose plants arrived in per- 
fect condition. They were so well packed that the plants were as 
fresh as if they had just been dug.” 
Conard-Pile Company, West Grove, Penna.: ‘We are very glad to 
write you that the order of 300 Polyanthus (seedlings) reached us 
Tuesday noon, Sept. 16th, in excellent condition. Many thanks.” 
Gartman’s Gardens, Fond du Lac, Wisce.: “Thanks for the seedlings, 
they arrived today in wonderful condition.” 
Floralane Nursery, South Haven, Michigan: “The Primroses (seed- 
lings) arrived today in perfect condition and we are pleased with 
the plants.” 
Royalton, Vermont: “Your shipment of plants arrived without a 
single dead or rotted leaf and that box came during our heat wave. 
Your previous card and letter were most friendly and helpful. I 
can’t thank you enough.” 
Clarkston, Wash.: “The Primroses I got from you last spring are 
just wonderful. In fact all I ever got from you are lovely and so 
large.”’ 
Astoria, Oregon: “My Primroses are showing colors in the bud now. 
My neighbors come and hang over the fence to admire them they are 
so lovely. Am so glad I sent in to you for them.” 
St. Thomas, Ont., Canada: “There is quite a lively rivalry here with 
them (Polyanthus). I just had a visit from our local newspaper 
representative and he said that though the rest had some pretty 
nice bloom it was nothing to what I had here, that these are the 
finest he had ever seen.” 
Ridgefield, Wash.: “The Primroses we got from you last spring are 
doing beautifully. The Acaulis are a mass of bloom (Jan. 2) and have 
been for a month, and many of the Polyanthus are producing blooms 
as fine as the usual spring blossoms. We had some sort of Primrose 
in bloom every day last year.” 
Chehalis, Wash.: “I have some lovely blooms from seed I got from 
you last year. I did not plant it until summer, which was very late, 
and I have huge blooms, long sturdy stems and lovely color.”
