"Messrs. H. S. Wiley & Son, 
Cayuga, New York. 
"Gentlemen : — I first began buying trees from you in 1901 and have a 
good many thousand of your trees in bearing. As I have previously stated in 
your presence your trees have always borne true to label. 
"My orchards of Wealthy, Duchess, tlubbardston, Wagener and Mcin- 
tosh, well laden with a full crop of fruit la-^t Fall, were visited by scores of 
prospective buyers, who pronounced them the finest crop they had ever wit- 
nessed. The three thousand trees which you shipped me in October, 1911. 
were fully up to your usual high standard of grading. 
"I have taken numerous prizes at our New York State Fair with fruit 
grown from trees with which you have supplied me, not only single plate 
prizes but many prizes on collections. 
"I have always first submitted to you my list of wants, giving you the 
preference to supply me with your stock, and only bought from others when 
vour varieties were exhausted and you could not fill my order complete. 
"It is solely because of my confidence in you that I have placed in your 
hands the exclusive right to propagate and disseminate my new Red Twenty 
Ounce. 
"Yours truly, 
"GRANT G. HITCHINGS."
