THE KIND OF LETTER WE LIKE TO 
GET FROM A CUSTOMER WHO HAS 
± FOUND OUT A THING OR TWO. 
% Westmoreland Co., Pa., Sept. 1, 1909. 
Mr. W. F. Ai.lbn, Salisbury, Md. 
X Dear Sir—I am going to take a few mo- 
X ments to thank you for the fine lot of plants 
a you shipped to me last spring. They were 
5* the best lot of plants I have ever seen. I 
X wish you could see my strawberry patch. I 
put the 10,000 on one acre, and if nothing 
happens to them, I will have a fine crop 
next year. I will tell you a little experience 
I had with raspberries last year. A local 
♦Jt agent for - came along, and I bought 
$2 1,000 Black Cap Raspberry plants from him, 
he allowing me his hard-times price of $30.00 
& per thousand, as I had been a pretty heavy 
♦♦♦ buyer from his company in the past. When I 
got your catalogue, and saw your prices on 
y raspberries, I said to my wife: “Now, here 
is where we will find out whether it is best 
y to buy from an agent or buy direct from 
the nurseryman.” So I ordered 2,000 of 
y same kind of plants from you, and when your 
X plants came they were much nicer plants, 
X with better roots and better packed than the 
plants from the other party. Your plants 
S nearly all grew, while about 40 per cent of 
the others died. Now, you can rest assured 
^ of my trade I will have in yoor line. With 
best wishes for your success, 
?k lours respectfully, 
* JOXIN R. HENRY.
