OUR CUSTOMERS’ COMMENTS 
“I am writing to let you know how very pleased I am with the 
bulbs which the Customs department inspected and cleared satisfactorily. 
They are so nice and clean; I am very much pleased with them.” 
Miss M. L. McC., Winnipeg, Manitoba. 
“We received the bulbs and wish to tell you how surprised and pleased 
we were at the generous count and extra bulbs. They were the best we 
have ever gotten in 21 years of glad growing.” Mrs. G. S., Elcho, Wis. 
“Last year’s bulbs were so good and the extras so numerous that I 
reserved as much of my budget for you this year as I could.”’ 
W.H. W., Inglewood, Calif. 
“COLOGNE has a pleasing ripe peach fragrance.” 
R. Nursery, Sebastapol, Calif. 
“Your catalog received. I surely enjoy your candid appraisal of 
varieties.” M. A. E., Appleton, Wis. 
“SUN SPOT is a honey and a must have. I have seen it growing in 
the trial garden, and by Clarence Fortman, and in private gardens, and 
it was always tops.” AMG Hesineh Ne Yo-N.J:,o0ce bulletin 
“Yesterday I received from you one of the finest lots of bulbs and 
bulblets that I have ever received in my 26 years of gladiolus growing. 
The quality is excellent, and your overcount and extras are really some- 
thing — you just seemed to forget how to count.” 
W. J. D., Detroit, Mich. 
“WHITE GODDESS was very attractive, had 27 inch flowerhead 
with 7 open. We are including it in our list of the ones we feel are the 
best 10 varieties introduced in 1948.” C. T. L., West Hartford, Conn. 
“WHITE GODDESS was wonderful. RED CHERRY you should 
have named “Red Picardy”. It was the best red we had in the field — 
taller, more open, and longer flowerheads. We supply 21 florists who drive 
to our fields two or three times a week, and they all considered RED 
CHERRY the best red cut flower.” J. M., Oyster Bay, N. Y. 
“SEASHELL — extremely grand, very large and beautiful.” 
A. M. L., Dewitt, Iowa. 
“The bulb of ORPHEUS made a nice spike and I liked it very much, 
although I do not ordinarily care too much for blotched varieties.” 
C. O., Grand Rapids, Mich. 
“The two most impressive new glads here this season out of perhaps 
50 tested were SUN SPOT and AUTUMN BEAUTY.” T. MaclL., Australia. 
“RED CHERRY grew well, gave wonderful spikes. Our family liked 
RED CHERRY and BIRCH RED the best of the eleven red and scarlet 
varieties we grew this summer.” W. M. K., Falls City, Nebr. 
“The shipment of bulbs came yesterday and we think they are very 
wonderful. You surely are very generous in doling out bulbs and bulblets, 
and I am very happy over the fact that I have found someone who really 
produces nice healthy stuff.” Kel. Vs cl0ux City, Lowa: 
“My glad bulbs came today in fine condition, and when it comes to 
extras I will say I have never had anything like this happen to me before.” 
F. B. W., Bonners Ferry, Idaho. 
“RED CHERRY was truly outstanding. A local florist came for some 
glads early in the season; although I wanted to keep RED CHERRY for 
my own pleasure, he insisted on taking it and would not leave until he had 
it. I think it has a great future in the commercial field.” 
W. &E. Jr., Warton, Md. 
“BOISE BELLE grew 60 inches in the field, with 24 buds and 12 open 
— it was a knockout! It has everything — color, ruffling, health, straight- 
ness, spacing and facing; as I grew it would score around 95. Not only a 
marvelous exhibition variety hut tough enough for a great commercial.” 
B. C., Utica, Mich.
