7 received my Roses in good condition and they have been in the ground two weeks. They are beginning to grow 

 nicely. Mr. Fields and Adims say they were delighted with their Roses and never expect to get tfiem from any one else — 

 only from you. I sanction what they say. I have a Killarney that I raised from a slip just year lastHIarch. It grew off 

 and bloomed all of last summer and staid out in the ground all winter. Xow it is more than a foot high and full of blos' 

 soms. It is lovely. — Mrs. Kate Crozier, Louis\alle, Kentucky, May 27, 1909.
