NOTES FROM OUR GARDENING FRIENDS 
Gentlemen: Aug. 23, 1954 
I have just received the last shipment of day- 
lilies from you and I hasten to tell you that these 
are by far the best plants I have ever received 
from any grower. I am new in the daylily game 
but enjoy them very much and am so pleased to 
have such choice plants.

Gentlemen: July 17, 1954 
I want to tell you how beautifully your lilies 
have done for us. The ones bought last year have 
increased nicely, and all have done well in spite 
of a severe drought. Please do keep me on your 
list for future mailings. Thank you. 
Very truly yours,
