Southport, Conn., July nth, 1892. 



J. M. Thorburn & Co., New York: 



Gentlemen— -The Hollyhock plants from seed I bought of you two years ago are now in full bloom. They are a noble, brave 

 and soul-thrilling sight, especially the large crimson variety. All are very double, as I desired them. 



Yours truly, Chas. H. Gray.
