Gentlemen -.--Your • 'Great Trial 

 Collection" of one year old roees (16 lor 

 $1 00) reached me safely by mail last spring., 

 and has far exceeded my most sanguine 

 expectations. Every plant lived, has 

 grown finely, and bloomed oon^i"^"^^;^ "^/^ 

 !une. so that I have had Roses in abundanc^ 

 for iriends and self. I would not now at ^^ 

 the end of the first season sell the 

 collection for five times its °o?^. ^^^ °^ 

 the contrary shall send you a l^rg r rder 

 next spring, so as to increase ^he ^ea^ty 

 and attractiveness of my garden. Your 

 honorable and generous treatment is 

 deserving of all praise and confidence. 



Yours very truly.
