You can hardly appreciate the feeling 
of pleasure I had when I took your 
'" Sweet Pea Review" out of the post- 
office to-day. It was a fresh surprise, 
but as I read it I wanted to thank you 
more and more. I have, before writing 
this written forthe"American Florist 
my feeling about the book, whicli I hope 
they will publish. You have accom- 
plished what you have aimed at, and 
made a <k'scriptive review of the 
varieties that hardly admits of criti- 
cism. I thank \'ou for the impartial 
and painstaking work, anti it might 
well be used for the standard reference. 
It is refreshing to see sucli an expert 
judgment passed on the varieties. I 
hope the book will have wide circula- 
tion. (Rev.) W. T. HuTCHiNS.

VVe are in receipt of your favor of 
November 7th, accompanied with a 
little work on "Sweet Peas." We 
have not had a chance to look it over, 
but shall do so to-night. In casually 
glancing it over, we notice the list of 
Sweet Peas reconnnended for being 
discarded. We think this is a step in 
the right direction. Wiih thanks.
