Springfield, Mass., July 6th, 1927. 



E. W. T. &. Sons.: I feel that I must write you about my 

 order for plants last Spring. I was a newcomer here. But 

 had used your plants in Pa. Folks around here stated 1 

 was foolish to send to you for plants. What I needed was 

 home grown or more Northern Grown. I said well I have 

 used them for years in Northern Pa. and have found them 

 best I ever saw. So am going to try them here and if they 

 do not succeed will try your plants. I ordered five thou- 

 sand plants, Spring, 1926, as your books will show. 

 They came in fine shape as usual April 20th. I set them 

 out in a few days after arrival and before some of my 

 neighbors' plants were set out my plants were well started. 

 The results were I had the only real patch of plants in this 

 section. And have picked more berries from my little 

 patch than any other man here. You will receive many 

 orders next spring from here and have already received a 

 good many last spring after they had seen mine. 

 Best wishes, 



— O. M. Jelfrey.

From Manchester, Conn., July loth, 1927 — We have

 duced over 9,000 quarts of the finest berries I ever picked. 

 I always send my order for plants to you, because I know 

 they are always right.

 we could have had them. Look for another order soon.
