Cordova, Ar.A. 



Dear Sirs;— The two-year-old Roses ordered of you are 

 much better than I expected and I had a good opinion of 

 you too. They are far superior to Roses ordered from 

 other places, and by common consent are pronounced the 

 best selection of Roses ever seen in tbi< section. Thev 

 are literally covered with flowers, and while all are grand", 

 "Mrs. Robert Peary and Helen Gould" seem to outshine 

 them all, and are, in my opinion, at the zenith of Rose 

 perfection. 



The Cannas— your own selection— are just beginning to 

 bloom and are as fax superior to the ordinary Canna as 

 "Helen Gould" is to an ordinary Rose. What more can 

 be said? You will hear from me next season with another 

 order. Respectfully, lints. F M.Long.
