Nashville, Tennessee, January 18, 1915. 

 Gentlemen: — I bought several Roses from you two years ago and 

 they are still growing and blooming. Have sold the home and the 

 present owner says he would not take fifty dollars for one of the 

 Ramblers. I will always buy from you, as I have found it pays. 

 Have kept tracik of our Roses for twenty-five or thirty years, and 

 have never known a dissatisfied customer. 



Most respectfully, MRS. BULA V. SLOAN.
