Dear Sir: — I have received the black- 
berry plants in good condition. I got 
them yesterday from the Ci. E. office. I 
had to go to that oHice to get them. I 
telephoned to have them sent on to Eock- 
ford but they said that the other company 
would not take them unless the freight 
was prepaid. I am well satisfied with 
plants. Very truly yours.

E. J. Stahelin, 
Dear Sir: — I received the plants and 
will say they were as fine plants as I have 
got for many seasons. 1 have never re- 
ceived such a liberal count from any 
nnrsei-ymen before and don't see how you 
can aft'ord to send so many extra plants. 
The Parker Earle was fine and came 
through all right, and the Haverland was 
extra fine. I want to thank you very 
much for my subscription to the Fruit 
Grower. Have found where to buy my 
plants for another year. 
Yours truly,
