The writer has bought plants from various reputable concerns and 
can say honestly that he has never dealt with anybody that uses the 
care in shipping that you do. These plants arrived in absolutely per- 
fect condition, and the care and attention that you had given to the 
handling was very apparent. You are to be complimented on your 
method and in the interest which you show in getting your mums to 
your patrons in the best possible condition.—A. H. L.

As a businessman it Is a pleasure to deal with a firm who presents, 
classifies and qualifies tts product by such business-like methods. 
Last year I planted about sixty named varieties from several different 
firms. Your plants were by far the most superior and except for a few 
English types were the only ones to survive outside, wintering 100%. It 
is a pleasure to recommend you to our friends.—M. G. T. 
Portland, Ore. 
Your shipment of mums arrived today in perfect condition. Each

always recerved mums from you in first-class condition. ‘Thank you 
very much for the extra mums you sent as a gift—Mrs. H. P. V.

are starting to bloom now and they are beautiful. I’m glad to deal with 
people that think enough of their plants to give the care in shipping

Beyond a doubt the plants you shipped me were far superior to others 
I received from two different houses. Also, you have a wonderful process 
of packing plants to enable them to reach us in such fine condition.

I am so happy over my beautiful chrysanthemums that I just had 
to write and thank you. Last spring I ordered a collection of twenty 
from you, to bloom over a period of several months. They were all packed 
so wonderfully and came in such fine shape. I never saw anythimg so full 
of gorgeous bloom as my mums. The early ones had scattered bloom 
until about two or three weeks ago, then they were beautiful. At present 
every one is in full bloom. The colors are all very lovely. I have quite 
a few other chrysanthemums but yours are truly outstanding. A number 
of my garden friends are sending for your catalog.—A. C. M.

as well packed.—Mrs. J. B. C.

My mums arrived yesterday and to say I was pleased is a gross under- 
statement! The plants are so beautiful and husky! I have ordered 
plants for the past ten years, hundreds of dollars’ worth, from the lead- 
Ing nurseries in this country and I have never had plants like these— 
packed so well. Thank you also for the free plants you sent me.—M. L.

My order of mums came through in excellent condition. They were 
perfectly packed, not one crushed or bruised. That is a good record for 
such a number of plants. 
We were also pleased with the strong, vigorous plants. This is the 
third or fourth year we’ve ordered from you and have always been 
satisfied —Mnrs. F. C. B.

The chrysanthemums that you sent to me this spring are now in full 
bloom, and I am very pleased with them. 
Especially would I like to compliment you on the condition in which 
the young plants were received from you. Their size and huskiness was 
excellent and the packing was the best that I have ever experienced.

I received the mums today and they are very nice. I don’t see how 
you send them so far and have them arrive as fresh as when you pack 
them. No one else can do it. Thank you for the gratis——Mrs. J. A. R.
