Last year I purchased 500 Co.v’s Orange Pippin from you, 
according to sample. This year I ordered 500 without asking for 
sample, which show’s I had perfect trust 111 your dealings. The 
trees which have arrived are absolutely first rate, splendidly 
grafted and full of vigour. As my apples fetch the highest price 
in Covent Garden, I am always buying the best, and can confi- 
dently recommend your firm to anyone who is in want of good 
trees at a very moderate price. I hope to do further business with 
you in the future.
