Harrlsburg, Pa., July 20 1915. 

 S. G. Harris, Tarrytown, N. Y. 



Dear Sir. — Last October I received 

 75 to 100 Peonies from you. I won't 

 sing "Tell Me the Old, Old Story" for 

 you, but In the last ten years I have 

 been Peony stung — harpooned and 

 trimmed until I refuse to resent a raw 

 deal on Peonies any more. I just 

 quit. I now take that time to tell the 

 man who has given me a square deal 

 — "Shake; you are a gentleman and a 

 scholar and sure earned your money." 



Last year I bought from you and 



. His plants were good and worth 



the price. Yours were large, looked 

 better and were much heavier. This 

 season not more than one-third of his 

 had flowers. All of yours, but a few, 

 Kad'bUtoms, from one to five, many of 

 which were very large. The boys 

 made more than the price paid for the 

 plants from the blooms sold from 

 them. Decoration Day. You sell the 

 best plants for the money I ever saw. 

 If I can arrange, I want to put In 

 more this Fall. 



Some Son of Belial got him hence 

 with the Peony catalogue you sent 

 me. I will certainly thank you for a 

 copy, as it was one of the few cata- 

 logues I wanted to keep. 



Men like you deserve the good will 

 and patronage of decent people and 

 I am glad I had the good fortune to 

 deal with you. 



Wishing you continued merited suc- 

 cess, I am. 



Yours, truly,, 



MOTE— The divisions listed are such

 %00 plfints the next year.

 cyclamens, primulas, gloxinias, dian-

 mondii, poppies, salvias, stocks, sweet 

 peas and many others. 



Preventing Variations. 

 It is not expected, however, that 

 forms or foliage variations can be fixed 

 in seeds. They generally revert to the 

 type, but there are cases where forms 

 have become fixed from seed. For ex- 

 ample, Tsuga macrophylla, a form of 

 Tsuga canadensis, holds its form in 

 seed. So do Wier's cut-leaved maple, 

 purple beach, golden spiraea, the pur- 

 ple-leaved Japanese maple and the pur- 

 ple-leaved barberry. A fair percentage 

 of all these come true. The probability 

 is that all these were seed variations in 

 the first place rather than sports. 



Acclimatization of Seedlings. 



The subject of the acclimatization of 

 plants from seed is an interesting one. 

 It is going on all the time by natural 

 as well as artificial means. "What nature 

 has taken ages to do, man may do in a 

 lifetime. The Japanese clematis was 

 tender when first introduced, but after 

 a generation of seedlings it proved per- 

 fectly hardy. The Irish yew, an im- 

 ported plant, is not hardy here, but its 

 seedlings are perfectly hardy. They 

 have been left out without any protec- 

 tion since they were six inches high. 



For seeds sown in spring under glass, 

 having a short period of germination, 

 it is customary to use seed boxes, 2xl2x 

 16 inches. They are easy to handle and 

 to take care of in the matter of water 

 and do not permit an overabundance of
