3 Berkeley Blueberries, 2 year plants @ 3.00
3 Earliblue Blueberries, 2 year plants @ 3.75
3 Coville Blueberries, 2 year plants @ 3.00

I am desirous of obtaining 3 or 4 grapes of 1 or 2 varieties which will make a good rose wine, either domestic or French hybrid. I see by the 1957 Catalogue that Seibel 1000 which you state makes a good white or rose wine in the 1956 Catalogue is not listed. Do you have a similar grape for this purpose and if so would you please send me 3 or 4 of that variety or any two varieties and bill me for it in addition to the enclosed check.
I did not subtract my dollar from the enclosed check for my credit premium. Please apply it on the cost of the addition grapes.
Sincerely,
Wilbur P. McDonald, M. D.

Dear Mr. Bennett
Referring to order No. 7911, I would like very much to substitute 6 Ontario grapes for the 6 Portland grapes ordered; also to substitute 4 Romulus Seedless for the 4 Himrod Seedless grapes ordered. I cannot find a good red grape remaining in your catalogue. If you have a good red grape available, would you please send 6 to substitute for the Yates grapes that I ordered.
Also in my original letter, I asked if you had a wine grape available for the making of a good rose wine such as Seibel 1000, as was listed in the 1955-56 catalogue. If there is such a grape available, I would like to have 4 vines and bill me accordingly
Sincerely,
Wilbur P. McDonald, M. D.
