L. AURATUM 
Milwaukee, W1s. 
Last year we ordered some AURATUM PLATYPHYLLUM from you. I 
cannot resist writing to tell you how much we enjoyed them this summer. Each 
stalk produced three enormous flowers. They really created a sensation in the 
neighborhood. Mrs. John A. Conrad

tn a little over a week and are apparently very happy. I especially appreciate 
your prompt and careful attention to my small orders. | have never had a more 
courteous response from a nursery. (Mrs.) Martha A. Ashley
