Our Customers Say: 
“T just can help telling you how pleased I am with the roses, 
mums, etc., that you sent me. The tulips, lilies and hyacinths 
were gorgeous and the envy of my neighbors. Believe me, when | 
order anything further it will be from your company.”—EMMaA 
M. Utricn, Ohio. 
“We received the rose bushes yesterday. They were fine. I 
have ordered flowers from twenty nurseries and I have never had 
as nice-looking plants and never had them packed so well and 
shipped in such good shape.” —M_rs. Frank Rei7z, Illinois. 
“T just want to thank you for letting me have the Duke of 
Windsor daffodil bulbs last fall. You told me they were prize 
winners, and they surely were. In our daffodil show I took a 
ribbon for best specimen in whole show. So I felt encouraged and 
entered three in the Baltimore Daffodil Show and took a blue 
ribbon there. Everyone asked where I got them. They were the 
only ones in the show. So now be on the lookout for some more 
prize winners for me, as I will be wanting some. Every bulb | got 
had three blooms.” —Mrs. ANDREw N. Apams, Maryland. 
“Received my roses and liked them so much that I’m ordering 
more. They were really nice fresh-looking plants and were packed 
so nicely.” —Mrs. W. M. Forses, North Carolina. 
“My three chrysanthemum plants arrived yesterday. I have 
never seen plants more beautifully packed. They arrived m per- 
fect condition. It is a pleasure to open a plant 
package and find the contents as healthy and moist 
as when they came out of the ground. The narcissus 
mixtures and the tulips which I purchased from you 
were magnificent.” —Mrs. GEORGE DELANO, Jr., 
Rhode Island. 
“My dealing with you in the past has been very 
gratifying... . . The bulbs were the best I have seen 
and the blooms huge and brilliantly colored.” 
—Frank Cook, Ohio. 
“T have received your catalogs and enjoy them always. And I 
enjoy your plants still more because they are the very best. It ts 
certainly a pleasure to deal with such good company as you have 
always been.” —Mnrs. W. C. Parrick, North Carolina.
