^ Dear Sir — I am going to take a few mo- ? 



^ ments to thank you for the fine lot of plants X 



X you shipped to me last spring. They were 2l 



^ the best lot of plants I liave ever seen. I X 



^ wish you could see my strawberry patch. I ^ 



^ put the 10.000 on one acre, and if nothing 2 



^ happens to them, I will have a fine crop ^ 



,j» next year. 1 will tell you a little experience 4> 



;^ I had with raspljerries last year. A local i- 



A agent for came along, and I bought * 



% 1,000 Black Cap Raspberry plants from him. » 



* he allowing me his hard-times price of $30.00 * 

 ^ per thousand, as I had been a pretty heavy « 

 4» buyer from his company in the past. When I <■• 

 % got your catalogue, and saw your prices on ^ 

 4* raspberries. I said to my wife : "Now. here v 



f^ is where we will find out whether it is best 'i^ 



to buy from an agent or buy direct from ^ 



the nurseryman." So I ordered 2.000 of ^ 



,, same kind of plants from you. and when your T 



2 plants came they were much nicer plants, ^ 



Z. with better roots and better packed than the T 



^ plants from the other party. Your plants ^ 



X nearly all grew, while about 40 per cent, of 



>, the others died. Now, you can rest assured 



^ of my trade I will have in your line. With 



,♦♦ best wishes for your success,
