shape. Thanks for your care in packing.

I bought several Rhododendrons from you last fall. All are 
living, growing and doing splendidly. I intend to buy quite a 
few this fall and next spring.

The last two Rhododendrons were beauties. They were cov- 
ered with buds and reached me in perfect shape. Not a bruised 
leaf.

Thanks for selecting the plants you shipped me recently. They 
were beautiful bushy plants and literally covered with buds.

You should see my plants. They are planted in the world’s 
worst location. I have violated every rule in the book and I 
have never lost a plant. All plants are growing and are looking 
wonderfully well. I am not only pleased, but I am amazed at 
the success I am having. I enclose $20.00 for two more plants.

Mrs. Furnival and Mrs. E. Pearson arrived today and as 
usual, arrived in splendid condition. They appeared as fresh 
as they must have looked in your Nursery, before they made 
the long trip South.
