I could plant the seeds, but I told her very likely they would not 
come true. I planted the seeds here, and have five trees which 
have borne fruit twice or more, and to my delight they come true 
to the parent plant 
They are as fine or finer than any grape-fruit I have ever 
ted. 
I got no fruit last year on account of the storm, and for some 
reason they are not bearing this year, but should they give any 
fruit next year you shall taste for yourself. 
I am, &c.,
