CLARENCE D. FORTNAM 
From Carmel, New York 
My thanks and appreciation Fine bulbs in perfect con- 
dition and great generosity as to both size and number 
make my order, No. 609, stand out. The Geo. W’s are 
at the top of my list, for “Uncle George’ Wilson has done 
much the same by me. In half a lifetime of gardening 
I’ve never had an order for glads or anything else whose 
filling bettered the filling of these two. Again, thanks.
