Dear Mrs. Hopkins: 
| thought | should write you and acknowledge the receipt 
of my order and tell you that your daffodil bulbs were the 
finest looking bulbs that | purchased this year. 
We bought daffodil bulbs from 8 different sources this year, 
all of them well known daffodil bulb specialists and without 
question your bulbs were the cleanest and finest appearing 
bulbs of them all. Your bulbs were in excellent condition 
and also of very good size. Some of the bulbs from other 
sources which were represented as A-1 or top grade double 
nose bulbs were small, dirty, and spotted. A few were bruised 
and one was rotten. 
| thought that | would write to tel 
| you how much we ap- 
preciated your fine bulbs and request your catalogue for 
1954. 
Sincerely yours, 
Professor George G. Gyrisco

Dear Friend: 
Years ago | had bulbs from you. They 
are still with me thru 3 moves. Now I'm in 
need of more. Can you send me a catalog 
or price list? This is my last move—I hope. 
My narcissi have been a joy thru the years 
and I've thought of you so often—with 
thanks. 
Sincerely, 
Mrs. Annie White

Dear Mrs. Hopkins: 
It's raining in Texas today. The first 
rain in many months. Much of our 
vegetation and bulbs are gone. | 
am going to stock up again on daf- 
fodils and tulips. The daffodils | have 
been getting from you have proven 
wonderful. . . . | want a bushel of 
King Alfred daffodils.

My dear Mrs. Hopkins— 
The bulbs you sent me last year flourished and 
gave much pleasure to us and to our neighbors. 
Now | want to add to them—and of course the new 
ones must come from you! 
Sincerely, 
Mrs. J. Lewis Underwood
