"I telephoned the nursery yesterday to let you know that the Cotoneaster tree in my order had arrived with one of its main branches broken very close to the trunk. I did not expect such a prompt response. A replacement has just been delivered which I am pleased to say is in perfect condition. Very many thanks. I shall be very happy to buy from you again, particularly as your stock list is so comprehensive, including many rarer subjects, sometimes difficult to track down! "
