Ladies: — Allow me to thank you for the excellent plants sent me. So many nurseries 

 only supply microscopic specimens which you have to nurse for a season ( often lose) and can 

 only expect results in event of survival. Your plants in every case are most liberal in size, 

 and the packing brings them to the purchaser in excellent condition for planting and immed- 

 ate effect. Faithfully yours. FRANCS H. MEAD, M. D.
