Our buyers in 1948 have the following 
to say, which we feel tells more than any- 
thing we can write: 
From Massachusetts: 
“Just to let you know the bulbs arrived in 
perfect condition, and thanks for the generous 
extras.” 
“Spindrift (bulbs) arrived yesterday in ex- 
cellent condition.” 
“Spindrift and Canopus were wonderful.” 
“Debutante: I liked this variety and believe 
this will become a commercial.” 
From New York: 
“Many thanks for the very generous over- 
count. The best looking bulbs I have received 
this year.” 
“Canopus was a giant — 6 inches — and very 
good. Seems like a husky. Saracen was very 
good — 5% inches — and I liked the coloring 
very much. Spindrift: one of the best. Stephanie! 
very good. As a group, they turned out to be the 
best that I had, and I am looking forward to 
another year.” 8 
From Rhode Island: 
“Your (bulb) shipment received in fine con- 
dition yesterday.” 
From Connecticut: 
“Canopus was the best, not a crook, over five 
feet tall and nice color.” 
From Michigan: 
“Debutante grew very well and produced 
good increase. Plant was robust and flowers were 
above average. This past year I grew about 25 
new varieties, and I think Debutante would rank 
fairly close to the top of my ‘best’ list.” 
“Debutante was excellent and performed very 
well.” 
“Canopus, Evenglow, Debutante and Spind- 
rfit were outstanding.” 
From Iowa: 
“T got two Spindrift from you. Both made 
show spikes, perfect buds, spacing, number 
open — but, fanciers’ luck, they missed the show 
times.”
