Rome, Ga., April 24, 1880. 

 D. & C. Co., Dear Sirs: — My Roses came in good condition. I potted them and set them in a 

 warm place in the yard. Shortly after this we had a great storm and I thought they were ruined, so 

 I had them put in the cellar; during the night a flood came and filled the cellar with water. I suc- 

 ceeded in fishing my Roses out and had them re-potted, but the earth used was too diy and I soon 

 had to change them again. This time I put them in open ground, hardly expecting any of them to 

 Yw^^hwX. every one of the??i is living and growing nicely. I like your vv'ay of putting in extras, it 

 makes one feel good. Respectfully, JAS. B. HILL.

Peekskill-on-the-Hudson, N. Y., March nth, 1880. 

 D. & C. Co., Dear Sirs : — I presume it is an e very-day occurrence for you to receive letters thank- 

 ing you for your liberality in filling orders, but I should feel I had neglected a pleasure as well as a 

 duty if I failed to acknowledge the generous and satisfactory manner in which my order was filled. 

 Please accept thanks and best wishes for your continued prosperity. Truly yours, A. H. CATLIN. 



Concord, Mass., May 22, 1880. 

 The Dingee & Conard Co :— The plants last ordered were received in good order and very satis- 

 factory. In my dealings with your Company the last five years, I have been equally well served, and 

 I regard it my duty as well as pleasure to acknowledge your faithful performance of obligations to 

 your customers. In the thousands of Roses and other plants you have sent to this region I have 

 heard of but few failures, and these probably not from any fault of yours. Yours, &c., R. N. RICE.

 D. & C. Co., Gentlemen: — Herewith please find order for Roses and other plants. This is the 

 third year I have ordered from you, and my orders have been filled to my entire satisfaction. If 

 your plants do not all thrive, it is attributable more to carelessness than any fault of yours. You de- 

 serve thanks as a public benefactor for the beautiful Roses you distribute throughout our land. 



Truly yours, W. HOFFMAN.

 Mess. D. & C. Co., Dear Sirs : — I cannot close this without mentioning how delighted I am with 

 the Roses received from you last Spring. They have grown and bloomed beautifully all Summer

 me one hundredth part the pleasure that my investment in your Roses has already done. 



Very respectfully, MRS. M. L. POOLE.

 full bloom; my shrubs and vines are growing finely, and I think every one of my Roses is blooming. 

 I have never seen anything to equal them. Truly yours, WM. HYDE. 



Huntsville, Alabama, May 2, 1880. 

 D. & C. Co., Gentlemen : — Allow me to thank you for the liberal and satisfactory manner in
