“| would just like to say that | had a very successful gladiolus season with your bulbs as | 
have had for several years. | especially liked of the new ones for me BURMA, MALTA, BO- 
LERO and TITAN. In fact the best spike of bloom that | had was from one bulb of TITAN. | 
almost forgot but MARIMBA made a very nice plant and spike from one bulb. | had three 
nice spikes from three bulbs of BURMA which is everything that you have said it was.”
