Dear Sir: — 



Yours at hand. Manj^ thanks for j^our kind of.i'er. I will 

 be Sure to remind you of it when the season opens. I star-D to- 

 night x'or Southern Texas and Arizona ana wil be gone a luontn or 

 so. I thinK some good person snoula get at Pellea ternix'olia 

 and Cheiianthes fendieri groups. I made a trip out to Ei Paso 

 and the Huachuaca Mountains last year, but aepenueu tO'i mucn o/i 

 my living specimens growing under like conuitions, whicn I nopea 

 would clear up some of tne dif c'erence. But I cannot promise at 

 this writing that the cujlt iva t ion of those desert forius will be a 

 success in Illinois. 



Yours trulj;-,
