Dear Sirs: June 26, 1947 
Last year I ordered some of your 
double Darwin Tulips. They are the 
very special Tulips in my garden and 
greatly admired by all my friends. The 
size and beauty of these lovely flowers 
ig unsurpassed.

Dear Sirs: June, 1947 
It might interest you to know that 
over a period of 5 years not one of 
your bulbs has disappointed me.

Dear Sirs: 
I wish to state that these same col- 
lections of Hyacinths ordered last year 
and potted up for a small cool green- 
house, bloomed beautifully in the 
earliest spring, without one failure. 
Thank you

Dear Sirs: June 26, 1947 
I want to take this opportunity to 
thank you for letter of May 12 in en- 
tering a replacement order for me, due 
to a packing error. It is things like 
this that make a customer glad he is 
dealing with just such a concern. Al- 
though I am ordering only a small lot 
this year, due to the shortage of space, 
I nevertheless will bear thig kindness 
in mind and when we do get our new 
house and grounds, I will remember 
this with a nice order, as Tulips are get- 
ting to be quite a flower hobby with 
me, Thanking you again, I am, 
Yours truly,

Gentlemen: 
It gave me a real thrill to see once 
again a catalog of yours. Almost 30 
years ago I bought in quantity from you 
and have had the bloom up to a year 
ago. Then they began to run out. 1 
bought from one of the supposedly 
best firms, and this the second year 
from planting, they came pied. 
I am ordering the old favorites with 
a couple of exceptions. It gives me 
pleasure to send in this gmall order the 
day your list came. to me. 
Cordially yours, 
EDNA G. McGRANE

Dear Sirs: February 28, 1948 
This is just to say that I am so 
very well pleased with the flowers pro- 
duced from your Hyacinth and Daf- 
fodil bulbs I purchased last October. 
I grew them inside but in spite of be- 
ing forced they are beautiful. The Daf- 
fodils are lovely but the Hyacinths are 
really “‘super.’” Thanks again. 
P Yours sincerely

Dear Sirs: June 29, 1947 
All of the nursery stock I have re- 
ceived from you has been excellent. I 
also enjoyed the added accommodation 
of the enclosed money order blank. It 
simplifies the ordering very much. 
Thank you for past favors and prompt 
attention. © Sincerely

Dear Sirs: June 30, 1947 
This is my third order to you for 
bulbs. Each order has been satisfactory 
and my Narcissus and Daffodils were 
beautiful. And my Parrot Tulips were 
the talk of the neighborhood so I am 
thanking you for your consideration you 
give to orders as small as mine. 
I remain sincerely 
MRS. ROLAND SENSEMAN

Last fall I ordered over $30.00 in 
bulbs from you. They proved to_be 
the most beautiful Tulips and Hya- 
cinths I have ever seen. I could go out 
into the garden and admire each one 
individually. Our friends and neighbors 
enjoyed them just as much as we did. 
Enclosed find my order and check 
for some of your bulbs. Yours truly, 
MRS. KIEVE SEAR
