Coatesville, Pa., Sept. 9, 1942. I would like to take this op- 
portunity to tell you that the seeds and onion sets I purchased 
from you this season did wonderfully well. The black raspber- 
ries purchased two years ago from you bore this season. The 
berries were unusually large and of fine flavor. R. K. G.
