"We thank you for samples of fruits and photos. We cannot begin to express our 

 appreciation and admiration. We only wish those fine fruits could be at an early date 

 generally distributed and grown for the good of fruit growers and Horticulture in general." 



vStark Bros., Louisiana, Mo. 



" I was agreeably surprised by your kind favor of the 26th inst. last evening, together 

 with a box of Plums, which arrived in perfect condition, and were shown to a number of 

 fruit growers here, exciting many complimentary remarks and much surprise at the results 

 of your cross-fertilization." T. T. Lyon, 



Pres. of Michigan State Horticultural vSociety. 



*' Samples of Plums came duly to hand. Have not sampled the quality, but the appear- 

 ance is simply grand, particularly 'Golden.' We feel the greatest confidence that the 

 * Golden ' should prove of unequaled value for all the Mississippi region where the 

 domestica species are rarely successful.". vStark Bros., Mo.

"The 'Honey ' is an exquisite Prune ; seems as though it might have some Jefferson 

 blood, but is of even finer qualit}-. The 'J.' (' Prolific ' ) is also very fine, and seems to be an 

 admirable shipper, being very firm." Stark Bros., Louisiana, Mo.
