direct from the hands of God the Father ; 

 and it was given to me too. The little gift 

 seems to indicate that he has been pleased 

 with what I have written yon about jtlants, 

 especially lettuce, celery, etc.; and it tells 

 us too that he has many similar gifts in 

 store for those who love him and care for 

 such gifts. 



What am I going to do with the seed? 

 Well, under the circumstances it does not 

 seem to me just right to make any traffic of 

 them at all. If any of you care for a few at 

 the present stage of proceedings, I will give 

 them to you— say three or four seeds to each 

 person, so as to make them go around. 

 When the gift has been a little more devel- 

 oped, 1 propose to give little packages of 

 seed to those who feel as I do jibout it— that 

 it is a gift from God. Now, I do not care so 

 much about the lettuce-plant ; but I am sat- 

 isiied of this one thing ; yes, I have watch- 

 ed and waited, and seen it demonstrated, 

 that these desirable traits in our flowers and 

 vegetables may be perpetuated by encour- 

 aging the plant in certain directions. It 

 seems as if that white lettuce-plant in the 

 greenhouse said, in effect, as it unfolded its 

 leaves : " Look here, my good friend A. I. 

 Root, wouldn't you like to have some Boston 

 Market lettuce all over white — white outside 

 and white inside— a real delicate transpar- 

 ent white, like thisV'' Now, A. I. Root 

 would have been dull indeed had he not un- 

 derstood. I am glad the plant came so near 

 dying. If I had not prayed over it, and ask- 

 ed God to tell me how to make it live, I 

 should not have cared half as much for it. 



There, friends, is not my little story a 

 good one, and doesn't it corroborate the 

 truth of the little text I started out with— 

 No good will he withhold from them that 

 love himV
