Bon Silene and Etoile de Lyon Roses 



The Roses ordered from you several days 

 ago arrived in fine shape. They were as fresh 

 as if just taken up, such fine, large, healthy 

 bushes, and we were delighted with the pres- 

 ents you sent us. ^A/^ish you could see how 

 they have grown right off, not even wilting 

 or shedding a leaf. With your way of packing 

 and prepaying the express, every one has a 

 fine nursery at their very door.
