"We receive every year thousands of compliraentary letters from our friends 

 in all parts of the country, speaking in the highest terms of the great satisfaction they have 

 in dealing with us, the excellent quality of our plants, and their marvelous blooming qualities. 

 We have usually published a few of these letters for the information of persons who have not 

 dealt with us, but this year we find it impossible to spare any room for this purpose. The 

 Guide is crowded full, and we do not have a line to spare. We use our best endeavors to 

 please all who favor us with their orders, and are always glad to hear from our friends, and 

 regret we have no room this year for their interesting letters. 



In sending out the Rose Guide for 1884, we desire again to commend our friends, 

 McCALLA & STAVELY, Printers, 237-9 Dock St., Philadelphia, who have one of the larg- 

 est and most thoroughly-equipped printing and binding establishments in the United States. 

 We take this method of acknowledging their assistance in presenting what we believe to be 

 the handsomest and best Guide to Rose Culture ever issued. We can recommend them 

 for fair prices, conscientious in their business transactions and entirely reliable.
