"I part with you on the seed-testing question with considerable sorrow, both for the 

 extremely pleasant relations that have always existed between us, and because I have been 

 able to avail myself of your expert knowledge, which I do not anticipate finding when I 

 look elsewhere'. I have never fo nd anyone besides you that I could rely on for testing 

 seeds." ' E. J. Bowen, San Francisco, Cal. 



One of the four Nuts, the first ever produced by eleven large Californica X 

 Regia hybrid trees. These nuts, as would be expected, are a complete combi- 

 nation of the two species in every respect ; one was tested, the others planted, 

 and variations are now in order. 



The berry-plants have now been sifted down to about 50,000 kinds ; it 

 will require another season to select and definitely decide which are the desf. 

 Among them are many promising ones which are absolutely free from thorns. 

 It will also be best to expect some new hybrid plums and other fruits, and 

 among flowering plants some new types of Lilies, Tigridias, Amyrillis, Callas, 

 Clematis, etc., etc., which will be entirely out of the usual line. 



The novelties mentioned below, w^hich were described in last catalogue, 

 remain unsold :

"Without the resolution in your hearts to do good work so long as your right hands 

 have motion in them, and to do it whether the issue be that you die or live, no life worthy 

 the name will ever be possible to you, while in once forming the resolution that your work 

 is to be well done, life is really one, here and forever." — Ruskin.
