Dear Sir: 
I received roses and trees very promptly 
some time ago. Arrived in good shape and fine 
stock, for which I thank you. 
Your nursery trees and shrubs seem to be 
the same as they were twenty years ago—good, 
clean, well-rooted, and vigorous stock, and I 
feel safe in recommending you to others. 
Yours truly, 
Ben F. McCormick
