W. R. GRAY, 
Dear Sir: 
I received the roses last evening, 
they are now in the ground. I have 
only one regret and that is that I did 
not order three times as many plants. 
Plants such as you sent me with 
the earth on the roots might safely 
be planted in May. Please accept 
thanks for excellent plants, careful 
packing and prompt attention given 
the order. 
Yours truly, 
W. C. SMITH.

W. R. Gray. 
Dear Sir: 
Kindly send me your next rose book. 
I bought some rose plants from you 
last spring. Owing to unavoidable 
circumstances they were not planted 
until eight weeks after they were 
shipped. Nevertheless the bushes 
lived and blossomed all summer. 
Sincerely, 
P. T. H.
