The ten Roses you sent me last spring are doing beautifully, notwitfistanding adverse circumstances, such as a late 

 planting, on account of persistent rains in the spring and a very hot, dry summer without any rain for fifteen weeks, frost 

 the 2Qth of September . I went out to look at them just now, and it was depressing to sec their thrifty, tender shoots fuU 

 of buds and the atmosphere suggestive of snow. — Mits. L. A. McGriRE, Norwood, O., Got. 1, 190S. 



Roses you sent arrived in good condition, looked as fresh as when sent. Coming so far, I was surprised to find them 

 looking so fresh. Thanks for the extra one. — Mas. B. N. Conaw.w, Los Angeles, Cal., Oct. 19, 190S.
