annex a few commendations selected from many of a like 
nature, both as to the quality of th'eir trees, and that other es¬ 
sential, the excellency of their packing, to which they invite 
attention. 
“ The trees were all packed well, and are very fine—not 
oij,e article but 1 am perfectly satisfied witht.” From Ley¬ 
den, Cook Co, Illinois. 
“ The trees were packed well and came to hand in fine or¬ 
der.” South Bend, Indiana. 
“ The trees, though long delayed on the way, arrived in 
good condition, and opened well. I must say they were evi¬ 
dently taken up and packed with much more than ordinary 
care.” Delaware. Ohio. 
‘ And now about the trees. If you had trimmed them 
[a novel complaint] they would have been the finest lot of 
trees I have ever seen from your State. I never saw finer 
roots.” From Springfield, Ohio. [The * ees here spoken of, 
let it be remembered, were sent o..i from the Syracuse 
Nurseries as their second class trees.] 
. (£7““ The trees, to appearance, [having been delayed on 
the way] were in good order, and better trees than I have 
ever seen west of the Lakes.” Roscoe, Ill. 
0=*The proprietors have also been favored by a customer 
with the following certificate, made after an examination of 
a large lot of their trees:— 
“We, the undeisigned, do hereby certify, that we have 
personally examined the lot of fruit trees which Mr. -- 
now has in the village of Marshall, and we do not hesitate to 
say, that they are the best lot of Fruit Trees, to all appear¬ 
ance, that has ever been offered’ for sale in this county.”
