 Dear Sir: I wish to assure you of my verj' 

 sincere appreciation of the Encyclopedia of Prac- 

 tical Horticulture which has iust been received. 

 It is a very creditable publication and one which 

 I am sure will he of great value to the practical 

 horticulturists throughout the west. — a publica- 

 tion which has been grently needed. 



Thanking you and tru.sting that if I can be 

 of service you will call upon me. I am. 

 Yours very truly.

My dear Sir: Your recent letter received and 

 also the copies of the Encyclopedia of Practical 

 Horticulture. I was very glad to receive the 

 same. 



I am sure that every fruitgrower in the Pa- 

 cific Northwest .should have these volumes in his 

 librar>-. Not only the growers in the North- 

 west, hut eastern growers who are ever seeking 

 some of our western ideas, should find the vol- 



umes of great help to them in their orchard 

 work. 



They are well edited, printed on good paper, 

 nicely illustrated, and seem to contain the pith 

 of tlie subjects they handle. Not only have they 

 dealt with the western experts, thus giving the 

 books a decidedly Pacific Coast flavor, but they 

 have sufficient amount of material from the 

 horticulturists of the Middle West and East to 

 make the books broad in their scope. 



I shall take great pleasure in recommend- 

 ing to the fruitgrowers in general that they 

 examine these books and add them to their 

 libraries. 



Another year in our library budget, I shall in- 

 clude this Encyclopedia, on our list, so it will be 

 placed on our shelves where it will be accessible 

 to the students of horticultui'e. 



1 am very glad that we have a work of this 

 kind in the Pacific Northwest. We have needed 

 something for a long time, which took up this 

 work more from the standpoint of western con- 

 ditions. 



With very kind regards I remain. 



Sincerely yours.

Dear Sir: I'pon my return to this office. I 

 find your letter of December Slst. also a copy 

 of the Encyclopedia of Practical Horticulture. 

 I wish to say that I have been looking forward 

 with a great deal of pleasure for the appearance 

 of the Encyclopedia of Horticulture. The need 

 of such a work, covering the various fields of 

 practical horticulture, is apparent.
