and plants were you sent us in the spring. Everything grew and yielded wonder- 
fully and we are more than pleased. We hope you had as nice a crop. We are also 
very grateful to have purchased from such a fine place as yours. I also want to thank 
you for the canning guide you sent me. This was my first year of cold packing my 
fruit and vegetables, “believe it or not,” and they surely are grand, thanks to you.
