Enclosed isa picture of my Silver Star Grand Champion show winner 
grown from a medium bulb. Silver Star also won blue ribbons for me 
on single and three spikes. 
The Anttetam I secured from you is in full bloom today and is 
gorgeous. Had it bloomed in time to exhibit I am sure it would 
have taken a prize. Mrs. S.C.L. -- South Carolina
