Columbia, South Carolina

 Gentlemen : 



I ordered 100 peach trees from you last year and 

 want to let you know how they are doing. You 

 sent me 102 trees and 101 are living. I think they 

 are the finest j'oung trees I have ever seen.

 ABNORMALLY DRY WEATHER

 Gentlemen: 



We are glad to be able to tell you that, despite 

 abnormally dry weather in this particular locality, 

 the trees made very good growth and only a few of 

 them failed to grow. We felt you would be inter- 

 ested to know these results.
