 blooming as a Tea Rose, bearing its large, full, 

 double vivid crimson flow^ers in the most wonderful 

 profusion throughout the year. We have not of-

Herbert J. Rumsey, Barber's Creek, Australia, writes on August 8: "I beg to ack- 

 nowledge the safe arrival of the two parcels of Roses. One parcel was slightly open 

 when received; the little green stems were quite visible, but were in perfect condition."

 plants ordered from you last month received all right. It is certainly admirable the manner 

 in which you pack plants to travel such an enormous distance. I will prefer always your firm
