Mr. Charles A. Green: 
The trees, etc., arrived in fine order Monday and we want to 
thank you for the extra trees you sent. We are very much pleased 
with the shade trees and have set them out and just in time as the 
ground is now covered with snow, our first for the season. The shade 
trees are as large now as our neighbor's that have been out two years. 
The other day I was in Philadelphia at my oculist’s and while 
waiting for my turn I picked up a catalog and found it to be Green's 
Nursery Company’s catalog.
