Gentlemen: — This year, while a generally favorable year for 



j Roses, has been a record breaker from my own standpoint, and 



I my Roses, practically all procured from your Company within the 



\ past four years, have yielded an abundance of blooms seldom seen 



outside an English Rose-garden. While I can scarcely speak of 



one without discriminating against another, yet I do foel that I 



must vent some of my enthusiasm upon the wonderful Climber, 



Dr. VV. Van Fleet, purchased four years ago, which was crowned 



I with such a wealth of beautiful buds and Roses that to say it has 



I created a sensation in this neighborhood is putting it mildly, and 



I feel like saying that your description of this Rose is exceedingly 



I modest, to say the least. I inclose a small photograph taken of 



our Climber when it was at its best. Your Roses have given us 



I wonderful satisfaction, and I have thought it may be some sati=- 



I faction also to you to know it. Very truly yours, 



j Milton B. Mishey. Mt. Joy, Pa., July i, 1914.
