From J. N. Douglass, Esq. 
I purchased a quantity of fruit trees of Mr. Johnson, representing j'our nurserv, and only 
one of the lot died, and that he replaced free of charge, for which accept my thanks. 
Prom William H. Wilde, Esq. 
I have much pleasure in stating that the trees purchased from your nursery through Jlr. G. 
C. Stone, agent, arc all doing very well, having lost but four trees out of several hundred and 
covering a space of live acres. The 3,000 feet of Honey Locust Hedge is doing finely and 
making a rapid growth. Some of the fruit trees set out last year are bearing now. 
From Graton & Knight. 
The nursery stock which we ordered of your Mr. Gates last season (upwards of $*200) 
came to us in good time for planting and in fine condition. It gives us great pleasure to say 
that all is growing splendidly this summer and doing well. When more is wanted shall know 
where to order it. 
From G. R Blackiston, Esq. 
The three hundred maples I bought from your establishment last fall are growing, without 
an exception, to my entire satisfaction. My fruit and other ornamentals are also doing well. 
From J. S. Wharry, Esq. 
I am so thoroughly pleased with the bill of trees your Mr. Johnson furnished me last 
spring, that I shall give him another order for fall planting. They are all I could ask. 
Prom J. O. Wiuans, Esq. 
The trees and plants I purchased through )’our agent, Mr. Stone, gave perfect satisfaction. 
The success in transplanting was remarkable. Out of several hundred only two failed, and 
that was caused by being run over by a wagon. They are now bearing splendidly. 
From Nathan Robbins, Esq. 
The trees and vines I purchased of you two years ago are full of fruit. Of berries and 
small fruits we had a fine crop the first season. I did not lose a tree or plant of the whole list. 
From «r. A. Seaver, Esq. 
I take great pleasure in stating that the trees and shrubs purchased from your agent, Mr. 
Johnson, some eighteen months since, have proved very satisfactory. All the fruit trees are 
in thriving condition and many are well filled with fruit. I wish I had another place to im- 
prove, that I could give you another order. 
From H. B. Stanton, Esq. 
Less than a year ago I set out about f weniy pear trees purchased through G. C. Stone, agent

From Mrs. H. M. Low. 
The fruit and ornamental trees purchased from II. M. Johnson, agent for your nutseries 
are all alive and doing finely. Some of the fruit trees arc bearing nicely, though this is but 
the second season from planting. 
Prom P. B. Steele, Esq. 
have been highly pleased with the trees received from your nurseries through your 
Mr. btone. Most of the sdection of varieties was left entirely to him and gave entire satis- 
faction. Some of the fruit trees purchased only one year ago are now bearing. 
From Charles S. Baker, Esq. 
The trees and shrubs received from you through your salesman, Mr. Johnson, are doing 
finely, having proved to be all that was promised. 
Prom M. Tuttle, Esq. 
The fruit trees I purchased of your very obliging agent, Mr. Stone, are very fine trees and 
doing well, with but few exceptions, which he assures me will be made satisfactory. 
From H. M. Atkinson, Esq. 
The stock received from your nursery through your agent, II. M. Johnson, is doing

nearly seventy trees.

are all alive and doing well. 
Prom James K. Morgan, Esq. 
The fruit trees, hedge plants, etc., purchased from your salesman, Mr. Johnson, are doing

summer from planting. 
From B. Cartwright, Esq. 
The fruit trees, grape vines, etc., purchased from your agent, II. M. Johnson, although 
received late in the season, are (with one or two exceptions) doing well and looking very
