Gentlemen

This spring I got a packet of your Vegetable Marrow seed No 1031 in Catalogue have had both green striped and white fruit from them. I cut one this morning 24 inches long and 26 around it weighing 20 lbs. I got a packet of your English Cucumber No 413. and the fruit are the talk of the place I cut one this morning 19 inches long and 9 inches round it. Have photographed them, there is a sort of prejudice against Eastern seeds her but I think the above results has killed it

yours etc
