WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS HAVE TO SAY. 
F. A. & N. Co. Sept. 9, 1936 
This is to let you know the apple trees I bought from you last year 
(Anoka and the Whitney), are sure hardy when they will stand this cold 
climate of 35 to 56 beloza zero. They sure grew this summer in spite of 
the tong drought we had. Everybody asks me where I bought the apple trees. 
1 told them from the Farmer Seed &• Nursery Company, so I zvill say ahvays 
a good word for your stock and company. Wishing'you good luck. 
Clifford DeMars, Ranier, Minn. 
F. S. & N. Co. Oct. 3, 1936. 
Four years ago last spring zee bought about eighty Chinese Elms from 
you. We needed a windbreak badly. We have it nozv—perfectly wonderful 
trees—people drive around to see them. We cut out all but three of our 
other trees. We live in this little tozen. Nozv the sad nezvs comes to us that 
some strains of Chinese Elms will liz’e only live or six years. They died by 
the dozens about here this year, though NOT ONE of ours haz e gone.
