Boyd Nursery Company, May 1st, 1934 
McMinnville, Tenn. 
Gentlemen— 
Last fall 1 ordered from you 7,000 black wal¬ 
nut seedlings to be shipped to my farm at 
Midland City, Alabama. This stock was duly re¬ 
ceived and transplanted. 
1 have just returned from an inspection of 
the farm including the acreage transplanted with 
walnuts, and it is a pleasure to state to you 
that the acreage transplanted with your stock 
measure up to the highest expectations of the 
most optimistic forester, as this stock speaks 
for itself, and its foliage is particularly outstand¬ 
ing and noticeable when compared with two 
similar shipments received from other nurseries. 
I am merely writing this letter thinking it 
might be interesting for you to know the general 
favorable comments throughout the community in 
which your stock was transplanted. 
Very truly yours, 
Albert B. Hawkins
