Decatur, Ind., May 6, 1933. 
Dear Sirs: We received the nursery goods 
some time ago, and say, did it grow! Every one 
of the 500 strawberry plants grew, every one of 
the Grape plants grew, and in the pear trees 
there was nothing but quality. We never saw 
such roots on strawberry plants before. Really, 
they were just like a beard. I am a booster for 
Whitten-Ackerman, because I ordered much 
nursery goods from different nurseries, but 
never in my life got quality, price and size as 
I did here. 
Your customer,

Gentlemen: I received the stock you sent me and 
found it in good condition. I think I know something 
about fruit trees and I pronounce the stock you sent 
me first class. Permit me to say further, that I like 
your plan of making your prices as low as is consist¬ 
ent with good stock and instead of spending the money 
for costly advertisements or replacing stock which 
customers lose by negligence. 
Very truly yours, 
C. A. STUMP.
