7t Sincere Message toe Our Customers: 
O OUR ever-growing number of friends I want to say ‘““Thanks again” for the wonderful 
response to our Catalogs. It is gratifying to learn from your letters and from your orders 
that our efforts to bring you the very finest bulbs, plants and roses have pleased you. And 
I want to thank particularly our many, many friends who have recommended Carroll Gardens 
to others.

where, and will produce outstanding results for you.

hyacinths were gorgeous and the envy of my neighbors. Believe me, when I order anything further it will be from 
your company. The cost is a little more but the results are amazing.”’
