EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS. 



It has become customary of late to publish extracts from customers' letters ; this 

 is done for the purpose of showing the good condition in which plants are received, 

 and the satisfactory manner in which orders are filled. Such letters we could give to 

 any length, but only append a few. 



West Va., June 1st, 1874. 

 I hereby acknowledge the receipt of my plants from you, and offer many thanks 

 for the general good quality as well as quantity of plants sent. 



MISS SARA BOWEN. 



Blackfeet Agency, M. T m May l 20th, 1874. 

 The plants came three days ago, and in excellent condition ; indeed they look as if 

 they had just been taken from the ground. The manner of packing and the ex- 

 cellent condition in which the plants arrived, has greatly pleased my neighbors, and 

 done no little toward advertising your house. 1 thank you for your generosity, if 

 these do not live, the fault surelyisnot yours. MRS. DAVID L. SHAFER.

 Both boxes of plants and seeds were received a few days since, and I am much
