Dear Sir: Belmont Co., Ohio, May 6th, 1919 



The strawberry plants were on the road 5 days and on receipt of same 

 opened them up and found as fine a lot of berry plants as I ever received; 

 set them out at once and today I was in the patch looking them over care- 

 fullly and I found fully 95 per cent, growing and nearly ready to cultivate. 

 Thank you, will come again when in need. E. W. Bonar.
