Gentlemen: 
Your inquiry regarding my two year old Perfection Apricot trees received. In 
reply, these trees without exception (145 trees) are all heavily loaded with fruit as 
high as 160 fruits on a tree. And remember they are only two years old from the 
time the bud started to grow or only two seasons growth previous to what they have 
grown this spring. 
I have had many years’ experience working with cots but from my observation 
and testing of the Perfecion I have come to the conclusion that had I the privilege of 
making a cot to order I should not know what more to add or change in order to 
improve upon the PERFECTION. After three years of close observation I have failed 
to find a flaw or weakness in the Perfection in either tree or fruit. 
Very truly yours,

Dear Sirs: 
In reply to your letter of July 2, I wish to say that 1 am more than pleased with 
my Perfection apricot trees and fruit planted Feb. 16, 1939. 
When the fruit reached maturity on June 22nd, they were a golden yellow, uni¬ 
formly shaped, however I noticed they were not ripe enough to eat until about a 
week later, but could have been packed and shipped on that date. 
I believe they are the best shipping cot on the market, because of size, color, 
shape, and firmness of fruit and early maturity. 
I noticed also that the Moorpark were not one day ahead of the Perfection in this 
district, which means Perfection can be sold on the early market. 
Sincerely yours, 
E. V. McFarland
