Messrs. Wilev & Co., 
Gentlemen : Some 
ten years ago we be- 
gan dealing with you, 
the first order being 
300 Baldwins in 
Spring of 1887. We 
have planted more or 
less every spring 
since. At first we did 
not take much stock 
in your argument of 
constitutional hardi- 
ness, but we have 
learned that for some 
reason your trees 
stand the severity of 
our cold winters bet- 
ter than any other 
stock we have ev> r 
tried, and we now 
have many hundred 
of your trees in bear- 
ing, and they always 
come true to name.

Wiley & Co., 
Gentlemen: 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 sub- 
stitute as some would 
have done, as I did 
not advise you not 
to. I am very well 
satisfied with the 
stock I received. 
"\'ery truly,
