Dear Mr. Robbins: April 26 , 193Q 
I_ can’t restrain myself from writing expressing my great appreciation of your integrity and the dis¬ 
criminating care with which you select shrubber>% This all leads me back to the many years we have done 
business together, perhaps now about twenty. I have never had one unhappy thought about you or 
anything but thoughts of respect and appreciation. Last year the Rhododendron and Hemlock you de¬ 
livered to me at Montreat, N. C., where we have a summer home, and which were spread through the 
park around our house, all pleased us so much. We did not lose one of them. 
Among other things that pleases me about you is the type of mountain men who work with you in the 
shrubbery, digging, packing and delivering them. They seem to have a gentleman’s heart about shrubbery. 
They take such excellent care of it. Nothing that I could say would be too much in expressing my pleasure 
in dealing with you, and my respect for you. Yours sincerely. 
J. Fred Johnson, Presideyit
