Dear Sirs: I am glad that you had already sent the 
Mountain Ash Tree by express, when my letter reached 
you asking you not to send it. I was glad to pay the 
extra 48c express when I saw the beautiful healthy 
tree, and then to find another smaller tree as a gift 
which was as large as the one I thought I would get. 
The balance of my order came Saturday by mail, every¬ 
thing was perfect and thanks for the extras. I am 
very well pleased with the Allen way of doing business. 
I regret very much that I didn’t send to Allens for all 
my plants this year. However, I have learned a good, 
but expensive, lesson that beautiful colored catalogs 
aren’t the best to choose from. It will be Allen Nurs¬ 
eries from now on for my plants and shrubs. 
Thanks again for the extras.
