You are invited to come and look our shrubs over, as we are trying 
out many new kinds every year. The above are large clumps, balled 
and burlaped. Do not confuse these with the small whips advertised for 
a song. We have extra large shrubs at higher prices, and sometimes 
smaller ones for less money. 
Shelter Island, N. Y., 1939—Dear Mr. Sterling: We are well pleased with 
the assortment of evergreens and trees that you set out for us and the manner 
in which they were planted. Your boys did a good job. 
If we can recommend your nursery, we shall be pleased to do so. 
Sincerely, W. R.
