THE PROOF ^""" S..!^''iPi^„?" """ 



Who Knows 



Eaton Rapids, Mich., June 3rd, 1912, 

 Messrs. J. G. Harrison & Sons, 



Berlin, Md. 

 Gentlemen : 



I want to say that my opinion of 

 your stock is I have never seen cleaner, 

 healthier or thriftier stock from any nur- 

 sery in any locality. 



As to the adaptability to this 

 section, it has been my experience and 

 observation that the best place to propa- 

 gate a tree or any other plant, was that in 

 which it grew best. The young trees cer- 

 tainly could not grow better than they do 

 with you. 



The Northern Spy tree in Michigan 

 will be a Michigan Northern Spy no matter 

 where the tree was propagated, and the 

 better start it has in the Nursery the 

 better tree it will make after planting. 



I might add that I have found your 

 firm both liberal and honorable. You were 

 sold out of one variety of apples I wanted 

 last spring and that convinced me I 

 could depend upon your trees being "True 

 to Name." I am a bit suspicious of Nurser- 

 ies who are never out of any variety. 



I expect to place an order for 

 about two thousand apples and some other 

 fruits for spring of 1913, 



Very sincerely, 



Secty. Eaton Company Hortl • Society.
