The collection I got from you last year did so well—seven 
out of the eight bloomed this spring and four of them had 
two bloom stalks each. I can recommend your stock most 
heartily and not exaggerate an iota. I do appreciate the 
extra, AZURE SKIES, you sent me last year. It was really 
lovely. Thanking you for all your courtesy, I am
