 why our business is growing as fast 

 as we can properly care for its increase.

This Shows What Makes Our Business Grow 



Order No. 6338 March 14, 1927 



I was very much pleased with the Roses I got from you two years ago. They were 

 simply wonderful. Everybody thought I had the most beautiful Roses, for garden- 

 grown Roses, that they had ever seen. I was so well pleased that I recommended them 

 to five of my friends. I expect to order more next year. — Mrs. S. E., Columbus, Ohio, 



Caught in Wreckage Jam and Still O. K. 



Order No. 28805 December 12^ 1927 



In regard to Order No. 28805, we thought you might be interested to know that this 

 order was caught in the wreckage jam due to flood and washouts and was considerably 

 delayed. We had entirely given up the idea of its being in good condition and were 

 wondering if we would have to lose it, or if you would be incHned to make it good in 

 whole or part. Imagine our pleasure, therefore, when the order arrived with plants in 

 perfect condition. Even the fragile fern was as fresh as though packed the day before 

 although, according to your notice, these must have been some 12 to 15 days on the 

 road at any rate. We felt sure the excellent condition of the plants was due to their 

 exceptionally careful packing — Mrs. J. C. T., Middlebury, Vt. 



We Replace Unsatisfactory Plants 



Order No. 9399 December i, 1Q26 



Mrs. Weltmer wishes to thank you very kindly for the prompt manner in which 

 you took care of her in the matter of the half-dozen Rose bushes which did not "come 

 through." It is a pleasure to do business with a firm which gives such splendid service 

 to their patrons. — J. S. W., Springfield, Pa. 



This is Interesting to Know 



Order No. 22725 ^ June 23, 1927^ 



I wish to thank you for the fine Rose stalks sent me in May. I find the fellow with 



the small order gets quality and service as well as the large orders could. — J. G. H., 



West Point, Nebr. 



An Additional Order from Japan 



Order No. 2640 January 28, 1927 



Through the post office I have forwarded you $65 to cover cost of 62 Roses as 



per attached list. 



Some of the Roses sent me on my first order were lost, absolutely through my owil 



fault — the bushes as you know arrived here in wonderful condition and with a Httle 



luck and care I should have every one of them at present writing. — J. E. L., Yokohama, 



Japan.
