68 PETER HENDERSON'S PLANT CATALOGUE. 



The following are a few from the hundreds of complimentary letters received 

 from our customers during the past year. It will be observed that the dates show that 

 the shipments were made at all seasons of the year. The following are from Florists 

 and Nurserymen : 



St. Louis, Mo., Dec. 10, 1871. 



Plants received in the usual first-rate order ; some articles you had not got, I had 

 to purchase from another New York florist; they came packed with a forest of cross 

 sticks, each pot twisted around with moss and twine, and after all tbis useless labor, 

 they did not arrive in as good order as yours did, besides costing four times the amount 

 for expressage. 



S. C. WARD. 



Bethlehem, Pa., November 9th, 1871. 

 Accept my warmest thanks for the extra plants sent ; most of them were just what 

 I wanted, and which is a great help to me beginning. I have done well the past year, 

 and I ascribe it all to your two works " Gardening for Profit" and " Practical Floricul- 

 ture," together with your articles in the American Agriculturist. 



JACOB A. FRIES. 



Brenbam, Texas, March 18, 1871. 

 Thanks for the correct and liberal manner my order was filled ; except the Fuchsias, 

 a few of which have lost their leaves, all the others are in fine order. 



WILLIAM WATSON. 



St. Paul, Minn., April 14, 1871. 

 Received the plants by express in excellent order. We are much pleased with 

 them. Place the $18 overplus of draft to our credit. We will need more plants soon. 



WILKE & LEMKE. 



Jersey Shore, Penn., June 13, 1871. 

 The plants reached us safely on 9th inst. We were charmed with the excellent 

 condition they were in, and the light and simple mode of packing, so different from the 

 usual heavy and clumsy boxes in use by others in the trade. 



A. B. CARPENTER. 



Darlington, Wis., May 1, 1871. 

 I cannot refrain from informing you of the perfect condition my plants arrived in. 

 I had hitherto been afraid to order from New York, on account of high rates of express- 

 age, but your light system of packing together with the " additional plants added to 

 cover express charges," makes it as profitable to buy from you as if from my next door 

 neighbor. 



C. H. REED. 



Adrian, Mich., March 22, 1871. 

 The box of plants ordered from you on the 10th inst. are to hand, all correct and 

 in fine order. 



SIMPSON & LOUD. 



Sandusky, Ohio, January 24, 1871. 

 After working hard all night, to keep the green-houses from freezing — it having been 

 the coldest night of the season — the expressman arrived with a -box of plants, from 

 your establishment, in the midst of a terrible storm. Of course we all thought that 

 the plants in the boxes would be frozen stiff; but, thanks to your wonderful packing, 

 everything was in good order, just as fresh as when it left the green-house. 



C. C. KEECH.
