Should you receive from Arizona some ripe seed berries of Cereus giganteus 

 as well as any other cacti or Yucca species, your officer friends would do a 

 service to horticulture. The magnificent illustrations in the Boundary Survey 

 caused great interest in these species. Many thanks for the seeds of Yucca Gloriosa 

 which we will sow. 



We are enclosing in this letter $ 1k which we happen to have in American paper 

 money in our cash box; as soon as the shipment arrives we will get in touch with 

 you and enclose the rest we oweif we receive in the rneantime more of these bills, 

 otherwise we shall send a money order. 



Sincerely, 

 Haage & Schmidt
