months, and include successful and popular kinds

Neosho 
“I have been buying and setting fruit 
trees from your company now for 
nearly twenty years, and have had such 
fine success with your stock that I 
always feel like I am doing my friends 
a favor in recommending the Neosho 
Nurseries Company to them.”

Lost Only Ten Trees in Six Years 
“The apple trees purchased from you 
in 1928 have made a fine growth; 
haven’t lost more than ten trees in the 
six years. Prospects are good for an 
immense crop next year. 
“I do not know where we could have 
bought a finer lot of young bearing 
trees. We shall remember you the next 
time we plant.” 
Very truly yours,
