Wn.EY & Co., 
Geutlemen : I thank you very much 
for your promptness in returning the 
money for the items you could not do. I 
am glad you did not substitute as 
some would have done, as 1 did not ad- 
vise you not to. I am very well satisfied 
with the stock I i-eceived. Very truly, 
ISAAC TELLERDAY.

The fruit trees I bought of you arrived 
in good shape. Am well pleased. /Phink 
them as good a lot as I ever set, and I 
have set a good many thousand in the 
last few years. L. L. MORRELL.

Gentlemen : The trees were received 
in time, and in ('.rf('//f«/ condition. The 
Greening trees w;re particularly fine, as 
were the Plums and Cherries. The wood 
when the trees were cut back showed 
clear and solid, indicating to my mind 
that they had not been unduly forced in 
the nursery row. They also had a good 
root system. Very truly, 
EDWARD VAN ALSTYNE.

There is force and truth in the state- 
ment that trees have constitutional qual- 
ities as men, weak or strong. A well 
grown tree that has good root develop- 
ment, which will produce a thrifty, vig- 
orous stem and branches, is worth much 
more for all time in its productiveness 
than one of poor root development. Your 
method of propagating and growing trees 
is certainly on the right principle, a:^ 
your stock shows. Very truly, 
GEO. T. POWELL. 
Somerset, N. Y., Dec. 19, 1898. 
Geiitleiiwn : The apple trees purchas- 
ed from you last spring have done ex- 
ceedingly well — only lost one out of 800. 
I certainly believe the principle of raising 
trees without the stimulus of Strong 
nitrogenous fertilizer is correct and the 
very favorable result with these trees 
would confirm that opinion. Per.sonally 
I much prefer, and believe there is a 
growing demand for well grown, vigor- 
ous trees of normal development 
budded from the best and most product- 
ive types of the respective varietico. I 
am confident that with such trees I can 
get quicker and better results than is 
possible with the average nursery stock.

Your trees have made a wonderful 
growth and all came into full bearing 
last year. Admired by all who see them. 
We took 1st premium on 3 varieties of 
plums and 4 varieties of grapes at State 
Fair, fruit grown from your trees. We 
had 3 Beurre Clairgeau Pears grown on 
the Dwarf trees set last year that weigh- 
ed lbs. Later ever}' variety came 
true to name as we expected.

Enclosed find my check for the 1800 
Apple trees ordered. They airrived in 
fine condition, and were very satisfactory. 
They were not only of good size and ap- 
pearance, but, what is more, they show- 
ed a natural, healthy growth, and per- 
fect root development, which will .give 
them long life and vigor hereafter. Your 
claim of healthy — not forced — vigor is 
fully carried out in the stock you sent.

My trees arrived the 15th. I have ex- 
amined them and find them in good con- 
dition. Every one who has seen them 
thinks they are the best that have been 
sent in here this season. Enclosed find 
my check for full amount. Very truly,

I am glad to report that I never receiv- 
ed any trees or shrubs from any nursery 
in better condition. All have grown well. 
Some received from another nursery at 
same tiine were much inferior.
