Hallawell’s flower seeds are fresh and 
dependable; you can rely on them for grati- 
fying results. 
The following excerpts are from a letter 
received from the New Zealand Government 
Travel Agency: 
“In February of 1953 | purchased from 
you a large stock of seeds which were 
planted in Rotorua, New Zealand for 
flowering during the recent tour of Her 
Majesty the Queen and the Duke of 
Edinburgh, spent a rest period of sev- 
eral days at Portorua and who visited 
the fine gardens there. | am sure you 
will be very pleased indeed to have 
these very satisfactory comments from 
a person as experienced as Mr. Eric 
Campbell, Gardens Superintendent in 
Rotorua: 
‘All the seeds germinated very well 
and are now flowering, all true to 
name and color description, which is 
a very great asset when one is dealing 
with large bedding schemes. They are 
attracting a great amount of atten- 
tion and are receiving from visitors, 
very high praise as to size of blooms 
and the very wide range of brilliant 
colors. . 
‘The Antirrhinum Tetraploid Hybrids 
is a very fine mixture which produced 
a wonderful display of color — these 
beds had flood lights at night. 
‘We have zinnias from two different 
sources in England and those you sent 
from Hallawell’s, and | have not the 
slightest hesitation in stating that the - 
seeds from Hallawell’s is far superior 
to anything else we are growing and 
has produced the best zinnias ever 
seen in Rotorua (our italics). 
‘We have hundreds of enquiries from both 
overseas and local visitors as to where we 
procured these seeds.’ ”
