Gentlemen: 
Dorothy Perkins produced during 
the past summer and fall more than a dozen 
large canes; three or four measured over 20 
feet of entirely new growth, while the others 
grew from 6 to 12 feet. They are not “‘long 
drawn out,” but good heavy canes. 
Yours truly, 
W.D3C2

Two years ago I sent for your set of 4
