“Again | want to thank you for the extra bulbs you were so kind as to include in the shipment. 
| want you to know that since | started raising gladiolus in 1948 | have never planted a gladiolus bulb 
ut what came from your gardens and | have from show entries; 50 ribbons and four grand champion 
ribbons.”
