“For many years my hobby has been growing and showing exhibition dahlias. | had a few 
run-of-the-mill glads, but discarded them before the war when thrips infested them and made 
it almost impossible to get clean flowers. Last year | sent in for your catalog from an ad in the 
Flower Grower, and tried a small order. Growing those bulbs has been very simple, compared 
to the care required by dahlias and there were plenty of beautiful bouquets for the house at a 
time when the garden was otherwise unproductive. TARAWA, ELIZABETH THE QUEEN 
and STORM KING were most beautiful for me. 
“It looks as if | am developing another hobby. Thanks for setting me on the right track.’ 
—Frederick J. Knocke, M.D.. N. Y. 
“EVANGELINE, planted 5—No. 4 bulbs, every spike popped through at the same time. 
Cut one spike one day and two days after cut the other 4. About the finest thing | have had the © 
pleasure to grow in some time. All the care we gave them to evaluate was put them in a vase 
on the back porch, which is enclosed, and let them set there for 3 or 4 days. Brother, what 
color! Finally the wife brought them inside for an arrangement. Color held well to tip and 
florets held size. Apparently it is all you ballyhooed it. Now | am wondering, what is the size 
of the stem from the large bulbs going to be like.” —Warren H. Dowling, Wash. 
“| have enjoyed one of the very best years in twenty-two years of raising gladiolus. We 
enjoyed each and every bloom and give credit to our success and bliss to the bulbs that were 
purchased from Champlain View Gardens. 
“I believe | found the ideal commercial pink this year in PANDORA. You included 100 
PANDORA in 1000 special Growers Collection that we purchased last spring and we cut 
100 spikes of PANDORA and they were all of championship caliber. 
“FAIR ANGEL outdid all other white and cream whites for us this year. And ELIZABETH 
THE QUEEN is still the best lavender in any price range or year of introductions including 1948.” 
—Edwin Barber, Penna. 
“Had your NO. 1 UNLABELED COLLECTION last spring and it more than met my re- 
quirements. This was our first year raising glads and we were well satisfied. There were none 
nicer in the neighborhood.” —Marshall Dugan, N. Y. 
“| am ordering another NO. 1 COLLECTION for | don’t know of anything | ever had 
that | was more pleased with. | most certainly appreciate your lovely bulbs and such beautiful 
colors.”’ —Mrs Royal Montgomery, N. H
