Dear Sirs,

Just a quick note to say that I was very impressed with the packaging of this order, which was delivered last week. I wish all mail order plants were delivered in such good condition. Please pass on my congratulations to those involved.

Daily Telegraph (London)

Fred Whitsey posed the conundrum that when buying daffodils you can pay more than double for what seems to be the same thing. The Daily Telegraph grew samples, in batches of 10, from different sources at different prices. A member of the Royal Horticultural Society's Narcissus committee assessed the results.

Most batches gave at least 10 flowers but the yield rose to 26 in one case. Some flowers were dismissed as poor while others got a top rating. The plants were also studied for their capacity for increase. This was where the variation showed most.
Some samples could be relied upon the give a 100% more in the following season, others much less. In several of the samples only 1 of the 10 original bulbs would yield another that would flower. "The conundrum was solved. It became a matter of investment. Increase was what counted most. When you plant daffodil bulbs in the autumn, you are not only creating next spring's flowers but providing for the future. Daffodils should be expected to "multiply", as gardeners say."

The bulbs supplied by Bloms cost the most, gave the most flowers(26), were of top quality and had the potential of doubling themselves next year. The trials indicated that you get what you pay for.

Dear Mr Blom,

"I was really surprised and absolutely delighted when this morning I received the box of bulbs from you. I had not expected such generosity and I am sure that when they are planted in the old vegetable bowls they will not only look good but will sell very well.

As I mentioned on the phone this year money raised from the Christmas Fair will be divided between the Pakistan Flood Appeal and the Leamington Christian Mission. The Leamington Christian Mission, Known locally as "Steph and Geoff", goes out every night feeding people sleeping rough and living in very poor accommodation. It has been going for many years and is wonderful organization.
Thank you once again for your kindness, 

Yours sincerely Jane Hedderwick"

Dear Paul,

"For several years Brancepeth Garden Club has placed a wholesale order with you. At the 2014 Spring Show, our regular judge who has been judging here for 15 years this year commented that "quality of tulips - over the last 5 year, changed out of all recognition". You will wish to see the "first prize"/"best exhibit". These were one of yours. I also got a 1st with one of your daffs.

I'll be at Chelsea on Wed. 21st so will call by to say hello.

Kind regards,

Peter Aitken."

As he wind today has finally blown away the last of our tulips, I thought I would just write and say "Thank you" for such a magnificent display of flower bulbs. We grow most of our bulbs in pots and have about 10 by the front entrance. Everyone has commented on our magnificent display, due, I'm sure, to obtaining our bulbs from yourselves. Others may be cheaper, but they don't offer the range and quality that you do. We always obtained our bulbs from you, but for a few years went elsewhere. We will not do so again. My wife and I are looking forward to receiving your catalogue and deciding exactly which bulbs to buy this year. 

I just wanted to THANKYOU so much for the beautiful bulbs I recieved from you, they are only now finished. I will not hesitate to order more and recommend to others. Cheers Ali
