Dear Sir: June 21, 1948 
I am sending in my order for Tulips, 
as the Tulips I got from you last fall 
were the most gorgeous Tulips I have 
ever seen, and I guess no one else has 
seen anything like them. I arranged 
them on each side of the garden like 
two half moons. In each bed were 100 
different colors; first, outside was Uncle 
Tom, next was Eros, than was Tacoma; 
inside was Royal, which was just a 
few days later in blooming. 
No park could even come up to 
them, for hundreds of people came to 
admire them, lining up outside the 
fence to look at them. Was I ever 
proud of them! I bought a colored 
film and took pictures of them. People 
asked me if they were Peonies, they 
were so double and how pretty. To 
many I gave your address for they 
wanted to know where I bought them 
for myself. I can’t praise you enoug 
for them. MRS. C. J. NELSON

Dear Sirs: Sept. 3, 1948 
I want to order from you as I was so 
well pleased with my order from you 
last fall. The bulbs were grand and 
the show they made this spring was 
simply breathtaking. 
So here is my order and I’m hoping 
you can still fill it completely. 
Please send full instructions for plant- 
ing the small bulbs and each Lily bulb. 
Thank you. Sincerely, 
x

Dear Sirs: gone 28, 1948 
Enclosed is an order for more bulbs 
to be sent in the fall. We have always 
had great success with any we have had 
from you and have passed that bit of 
information along to numerous friends. 
Our Giant Double Tulips, the gor- 
geous Parrots and Lily-Flowering, have 
created quite a sensation in our neigh- 
borhood, everyone exclaiming that they 
are the most beautiful they have ever 
seen. 
It is a privilege, too, to do business 
with people from whom you are as- 
sured the best in quality and considera- 
tion and prompt attention. 
Very truly yours, 
MRS. W. F. BORN

The Hyacinths I bought from you 
last year were simply gorgeous. Passers- 
by stopped to admire and revel in 
‘their glorious pure colors and tall, full 
spikes of flowers. Three of the eight 
had two spikes each. It was quite a 
thrill to watch the passing cars slow 
down in order that the people could see 
my lovely Hyacinths. 
The bulbs were such fine, firm ones 
and of wonderful size. I thank you 
very much for such fine stock. 
Sincerely, 
MRS. C. P. KINTZ

Tulips ordered last year completely 
satisfactory this spring. Jumbo Hya- 
cinths beautiful—Perle Brilliant blos- 
somed half as large again as that pic- 
tured in this year’s catalog. They 
were given only ordinary care, with 
two spaced feedings of bone meal be- 
fore blooms appeared.

Just a few lines to say how well ~ 
pleased we are with the 450 Tulip 
bulbs we got from you last year. The 
neighbors just rave about them, 80 
much so that we had to give them 
some to put on the altar of our church. 
They all want to know where we got 
them so I told them and all say they 
Never saw any as beautiful as they are. 
We are also very much pleased with the 
Amaryllis, we have nine of them; one 
of them is in full bloom right now. 
Hoping the Gladiolus bulbs will 
prove as satisfactory as the rest of the 
bulbs I have gotten from you, I beg to 
remain Yours respectfully
