Whatever you can send us of good cacti is always welcome: such beautiful 

 Echinocactus Wislizeni , if well preserved, would make as very happy. 



What we would like mostly are the hardy species from Colorado which can bear 

 the frost and all the northern cacti species. Cereus Fendleri and viridiflorus , 

 Mammillaria vivipara , chlörantha, Nuttalli , papyracantha . 



Wouldn't it be possible for you obtain from one of your correspondents seeds of 

 Robinia new-Mexicana which Thurber recommended as an especially beautiful shrub growing 

 in the copper district? How is the climate in southern Utah and in which part of 

 Europe would the plants growing there do best? Inspite of the very harsh winters 

 which Colorado and N ew Mexico are supposed to have some times, the plants coraing 

 from there freeze here at a considerable higher degree. On our large map of the 

 United States neither St. George nor Glenday in Utah is entered; is it perhaps near 

 Desert City? 



Will there be this year again seeds from South Carolina? 

 Pinus palustris , Elliotti« Chamaerops hystrix , Pinckneya pubens? 

 Again asking* you not to be aggry for our long silence, we remain with friendly 

 greetings, 



Sincerely yours f 

 Haage & Schmidt
