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 
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. Neverthe- 
less the bushes lived and blossomed 
all summer. Sincerely, 
P. T. H.
