Gentlemen: — Catalog received; many thanks. The 

 hrubberv planted last Spring has made a splendid growth, 

 and reflects much credit upon your firm. It affords genuine 

 pleasure to extol its high quality. You will hear from me 

 again. 



Faithfully yours, 



Oliver D. Schock. 



An individual Weigela bush together with a spray of 

 flowers taken from the same. The graceful drooping 

 branches of the Weigela make this one of the rnost 

 attractive shrubs for lawn planting. Varieties differ 

 principally in their color of bloom. All thrive best in 

 rather rich, well-drained soil. 



There are numerous other varieties of trees and 

 shrubs that we have in stock which space in this 

 catalog does not admit of inserting. Write us if 

 you don't find what you want.
