TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN : 
This fall, 1934, I ordered The Markham 
Nursery to deliver me 500 apple and 500 
peach trees. When these trees arrived, I 
was surprised and over-joyed to see that he 
had filled my order with such a choice lot of 
big, straight and thrifty trees. I said to 
him,“Mr. Markham, as soon as you return 
home, book me for 1,000 more trees for next 
fall.” 
I have an orchard of 15 acres of inferior 
peach trees, which I bought from another 
nursery, and three-fourths of them proved 
to be seedlings. I paid more for these in¬ 
ferior trees than I paid for Markham’s trees 
and I intend, before next fall, to have this 
15 acres removed and replaced with MARK¬ 
HAM’S quality TREES. 
With getting Markham’s trees I can be 
sure to have each tree bear just what it is 
labeled, as Markham’s Nursery is noted for 
being interested in seeing that his trees pro¬ 
duce orchards superior to all others.
