 Messrs. R. & J. Farquhar & Co., 



Dear Sirs : — The "Gloire de Lorraine'' is the gem of my Begonia collection. It has 

 been a mass of lovely bloom ever since November, and shows no signs of dropping blossoms 

 yet. It is the first plant I ever owned that far excelled the picture of it in the floral cata- 

 logue. It seem as if it would exhaust its vitality. I feel very grateful to you for introduc- 

 ing such a plant to me. Very sincerely yours, H. E. S.
