Gentlemen: December 6, 1947 
May I thank you for your prompt 
replacement of the Hyacinths omitted 
from my original order. They arrived 
today and I am already dreaming of 
the lovely spring blooms that will 
bloom early in the spring. Today the 
friend, to whom I had given bulbs, 
as a birthday gift, remarked how lovely 
and solid your bulbs are. No doubt 
if hers bloom as nicely as mine did 
last year, she will become a customer. 
Again may I thank you for your 
courteous service. Very truly yours, 
ELISABETH C. TRITSCHLER

Dear Sirs: September 14, 1947 
The one Red Emperor Tulip that I 
had last year, created a sensation in- 
deed. 
My garden is quite open to the pub- 
lic. Cars stopped and people came in 
the yard and asked what the flower was 
and where it came from. The Tulip 
flowered about two weeks earlier than 
my other Tulips. I am ordering five 
bulbs which will fill all the space I 
I have for the Emperor. Truly yours, 
MRS. E. J. GODBOLD

Gentlemen: January 20, 1948 
Enclosed is a check for $3.75 for 
which will you please send me your 
24 tuberous-rooted Begonias as adver- 
tized in the January “‘Home Garden.”’ 
We would also like to take this op- 
portunity to let you know how much 
we, and our neighbors, enjoyed our 
Dutch Hyacinths last spring. They were 
truly beautiful and some of the bulbs 
bore two giant flower spikes. We are 
now looking forward to the Tulips and 
Daffodils we put in this fall, trusting 
that in their own way they will be as 
lovely as the Hyacinths were. The bulbs 
we received were certainly of grand 
size. With many thanks to you for the 
privlige of having such lovely flowers. 
Sincerely yours, 
MRS. H. L. LANGHAM 
Dear Sirs: East Orange, N. J. 
Having purchased your fine Tuli 
bulbs over a period of years I thin 
it fitting that you should know how 
much we have appreciated them, as 
well as our neighbors. 
The Red Emperor Tulip was a sen- 
sation. 
In your catalog, at least a couple of 
years ago, you had a collection of ex- 
hibition size Tulips that I think were 
the most pateaialine collection I had 
ever had so was sorry not to find them 
continued in a collection. 
Very sincerely 
MRS. J. B. CARES

Gentlemen: 
I want to say at this time how very 
delighted I was with bulbs purchased 
from you last year. The Tulips and 
Hyacinths were magnificent and I re- 
ceived many queries and compliments. 
The Red Emperors were quite a sur- 
prise and attracted much attention as 
also did the Double Darwins. 
It has been a pleasure to deal with 
you and I feel it only fair to tell you 
that yours were the finest bulbs re- 
ceived from any nursery and I had 
divided my needs among five. 
Very truly yours, 
D; H. PORTER

This is just an added line to tell you 
how beautiful my spring flowers were 
this year. They were exquisite!
