 vance of other plums. The curculio has no effect upon

I was more than pleased to receive the 61 trees from 

 you, with such perfect roots; and the trees were more 

 than I had anticipated. They were indeed the most 

 beautiful loc of trees I ever received from any nm'sery, 

 and packed with such care. F. L. D"^owxer.
