OP COVJRSt To My Patrons: I am much interested in the prosperous growth of Trees and bearing Orchards sold from our Nurseries and which have demonstrated that stock grown in this climate and soil is far superior to eastern or southern grown stock. Our stock in the past has given universal satisfaction and won for us a success ful and growing business. Such being the case you must pardon me for taking up a few moments of your valuable time in looking over the stock sold you, which I believe will recommend us now as well as in future years. I will call on you in time to replace anything that has died, according to contract, and I will freely confer with you, as we are both interested in this im portant matter. Do not allow transient agents to persuade you that 1 will not return so that they can secure your orders themselves, for 1 will be with you as in the past. Very respectfully, Will McKern P.
