Shaft P. O., Pa., Nov. 21, 1938. 
Dear Sir: In Sunday’s “Inquirer,” I notice you still 
advertise Peonies, 6 for $1.00. Now if you please, I would 
like to have six, two for each color. I had ten Geraniums 
from your firm in the spring and they turned out swell 
and will send for more, in spring, earlier than last year. 
Enclosed please find $1.10. I think I will still have time 
to plant Peonies before the ground freezes too hard. Today 
is beautiful. 
Thanking you In advance for my order, I remain. 
Very truly yours, 
Mrs. F. M.
