 dition. It is not my policy to give credit where it is not due, but you certainly deserve some expression from us with reference to 

 the packing of our plants. It has been my privilege to inspect the packing of the leading mirseries of the world, and, I am 

 confident, I have seen nothing superior to your method of preparing otir plants for the journey frotn Riverton to this place.

 no breakage, and at this time you would think thev had been here for months.

 The Crotons 7uere received in fine condition and are perfectly satisfactory ; out of the fiftee?i varieties no tiuo alike. I took them. 

 to the Fair in Springfield, where they attracted much attention ; do not believe I could have made a better selection myself.
