HERE ARE A FEW UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIALS 
% WE ASKED PERMISSION TO PRINT THEM 
MARINETTE, WIS., Oct. 4, 1941: Last spring I pur- 
chased your root collections A and C. As I have never 
tried W. Va. roots before I wish to inform you that 
every single one did fine, which is unusual as generally 
one or two fail to do much. I am inclosing clippings 
from our local paper. Have had many people looking 
them over. G. E. 
WEST NEWTON, MASS., Sept. 25, 1941: Just a re- 
port on my roots this summer. Calif. Idol, Kilgores 
King, Mrs. Geo. LeBoutellier and Black Knight of 
which I had two of each were wonderful, and so was 
Century of Progress which you gave me. L. D. 
SEATTLE, WASH., May 21, 1941: The four plants 
and two roots arrived today, all in fine shape. The plants 
were perfectly fresh and had grown some in the con- 
tainers. The ventilating holes, usually omitted by other 
shippers, account for the good condition of the plants. 
I have purchased quite a few plants and cuttings from 
the East,-but never had any reach me in better condi- 
tion, and very few as good. R. C. M.
