.. + This year again the flowers were the talk 
of the town. . The busses (city) even slow 
up so the people riding them can get a longer 
look at them. ... I tell all my customers that 
I purchase my bulbs from you. ... Send me 
the best you have and I'm sure we will both 
profit for our effort, you in your business, and 
my family and I in personal satisfaction of 
having the best tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, etc. 
in our wonderful city ...”’ HARRY J. SZEL-

. Last year I ordered several iuberous-rooted 
Begonia bulbs, and wished afterwards I had 
ordered more. Never before have I seen such 
beautiful plants and blossoms, and the ones I 
had here should have been entered in the 
Nebraska State Fair exhibits. The plant which 
took first place there was very inferior to my 
poorest plant.” G. L, VLASNIK, Jr. 
APRIL 22, 1950 — ALBION, MICHIGAN 
..» My garden and landscaping the place are 
my hobbies. ... I have often visited your 
gardens during Tulip Festival and have bought 
dozens of bulbs from you. . . A lady in 
Teconsha has grown crocus for years and I 
went there especially to find out where she 
purchased them, ,.. She planted hers in the 
shape of a wheel, with the spokes of the darker 
shade, and hub of the very light shade, and 
the second year they had spread so rapidly 
that the spokes of the wheel didn’t show. The 
lovely blending of the colors is very pleasing 
anyway, and they were truly lovely when I 
saw them. ...I want some, too.” MRS. DAVID 
GORMAN.

they are really outstanding. Quite a number

where I purchased my bulbs.” MRS. JENNIE
