TOPAZ QUEEN

still believe Topaz Queen is the most compact growing scarlet-rose.

BRIGHT EYES

All-America Winner

grows 7 to 9 inches tall and is completely 
covered with soft light rose-pink flowers 
blooming all summer till frost. Unsur- 
passed in garden beds, edgings and bor- 
ders. Pkt., 25c. 
The seeds which I bought in your store 
and sent to my sister-in-law in Germany were 
excellent. Numerous times she wrote me of 
her great success with them and how happy 
she was to be able to get them. I felt sure 
that you would be interested to know your 
seeds grew so well in a foreign country and 
gave so much pleasure to so many people. 
I am also enclosing another order for seeds 
which she has just written for.
