San   Francisco,   Sept.   10,   1918.
Mr. Leonard Coates,
The Leonard Coates Nursery Company,
Morgan Hill, California.
Answering your favor of the 28th inst. I can truthfully state that I have had the most gratifying •
success in the growing of ornamental trees and shrubs purchased from your good selves in the past
seasons. Your system of an established growth in a container is certainly an insurance against
failure arising from a disturbed root system, or lack of sufficient moisture. Balled plants from
nursery rows have always proven very unsatisfactory to me. Growth is retarded for one or more
seasons through a disturbance of the root system and furthermore an excessive quantity of water is
required to once again establish the tree or shrub.
Where water at any  or all times  is  not to  be had,  in sufficient quantities  to promote a  steady
growth,   a   subject   with   a   crippled   root   system   will   droop   much   more   quickly   than   one   removed
from   a   box,   can  or  pot.
Yours  very truly,
(Signed)       G. II.
