During tlie \\ inter I have most of my new

the U. S. as early in the sprirg as desired. 
If an order i.s to go by parcel post' aufi more

tlcsired. 
No plant V ill endure mere than li e Iris, 
and will relate my experiences \Mth or.e shiiiment 
to Xcw Zealand as an exami/le. On the 2()th of 
Septemlx'r, last year, I packed an order in 
"bone dry" excelsior, and the\- were returned 
\\\icc from San Francis<o tlirough an errcr of 
the Postmaster there. They were then pkued In 
an o[)en shed during the winter, and planted 
April 20th. Nearly every plant grew, and some 
of them are in liloom now — June 15th. 
I am located one and one-half miles north 
of Kasson, and 17 miles west of Rochester, Minn. 
Auto bus from AJantorville meets all trains 
at Kasson, and passes by my nursery.
