Your kind letter to hand, for which attention please accept my thanks. You 
may be interested to know that the gladioli bulbs which you sold me created a 
sensation up in Vermont, they were the finest flowers the Vermonters ever gazed 
at, and I am going to give you a few new customers for the gladioli next spring.

Two years ago this coming spring I purchased 100 Newburgh raspberry plants 
from you. Only one of those plants failed to thrive, although neighbors, who set 
out “imported” plants about the same time, lost the larger part of theirs. 
Last summer I picked from those 100 plants all the berries we could use and 
can, gave quite a few boxes away, and sold between $40 and $50 worth. It seems 
to me that was a pretty high return — even on such a good investment. 
The plants I bought from you last spring promise to do equally well.
