Gentlemen—“Late in August I purchased two ’TRIAL COLLECTIONS.’ 
The unusually severe winter killed out many well established trees. How- 
ver, EXCELSA, CHRISTINE WRIGHT, AMERICAN PILLAR, TAUSEND- 
SCHON, BIRDIE BLYE and BABY DOLL wintered over and are in bloom 
as I write (June). Although only first size plants they out bloom many 
of my grafted roses for which I paid $2.50 each. Although they arrived 
in the hottest month, August, they were so excellently packed that none 
even wilted upon being set out. Nothing You Say in Your Catalog is 
Exaggerated.”—Mr. M. Z., Monticello, Wis.
