Tompkins Co., N. Y., May 1, 1909.

 Berberis Thunbergi, you supplied me last year have

 plants set out. I think this an unusual result.

Isanti Co., Minn., Oct. 11, '09. 

 My plants came in fine shape and I was more than 

 pelased with them. The shrubs were much larger than 

 any I ever received from any other firm. The plants 

 were fine and the Peonies much larger than anything 

 I ever got, at anywhere near the price.
