„ “September 11th, 1884. 
Gentlemen',— I have received the Garden Frames, and 
I am quite delighted with them. They are really well got up, 
well timbered, and the sides and ends being grooved, will 
prevent that objectionable swaging so prevalent in these kind 
of boxes. I shall certainly recommend them to my brot hers in 
the trade.—R. GILBERT, Head Gardener to the Marquis of 
Exeter.”
