Reno Co., Kan., April 22, 1918. 

 Some 15 or 16 years ago I ordered some fruit 

 plants of you when I was living at Pana, 111. 

 I will never forget your courtesy, manner of 

 doing business, and the excellent plants that 

 you sent me. They came in fine shape and all 

 grew. J. Q. SwiNN. 



Tuscarawas Co., Ohio, March 14, 1918. 

 When you took over E. P. Roe's business, I 

 had been a patron of his; he wrote for me to 

 patronize you. I did so for a number of years, 

 then moved to city. Now I am going to the 

 farm and need some plants, etc. Therefore, send 

 me your catalog for 1918 as soon as possible.

 of fruits, which did very well indeed. 



J. P. McCluer. 



Sonoma Co., Cal., March 14, 1918. 



We decided to send a small order to you, be- 

 cause we find that your catalog tells the truth. 

 Looking through your catalog, the varieties of 

 fruit we know if they have a fault you mention 

 it every time. 



We were raised at the Pine Hill Nurseries, 

 Buffalo, N.Y. I .remember my father bought a 

 lot of peach trees from Monmouth Nurseries 

 about 50 or more years ago. They were a fine 

 lot Larger than we could grow them. 



F. G. Zimmerman.

 The trees shipped to W. Wilson arrived safely 

 and in good order. I wish to thank you for your 

 selection of the stock, all of it was splendid; in 

 fact, no one could wish for more healthy and 

 vigorous young trees. You will hear from us 

 when we want more stock.
