St. Paul, Minn., 
Gentlemen^ ' 
The Swaiisonia seeds I sent to you for Maj- 
27th came to hand a few days ago. with two extra 
paclcets of flower seeds, gratis. Accept my thanks 
'or the same. The Swansonia Ulegans plant I sent for 
.it the same time arrived today in perfect condition. I 
have been buying 
rtowering plants of| 
Eastern seedsmen 
for a great many 
years, but never re-| 
ceived one with 
nice ball of dirt on it 
as the plant had yon 
sent me. Then there 
was no lack of danii* 
moss, and the plant 
was beautiful and 
green. It was a 
feast to my old ej'es. 
If it docs not grow 
it will not be you,, 
fanlt surely. 
Send me your seed 
catalogue for 190* 
as soon as issued. 
Yours truly, 
IBA W. Adams. SWAINSONIA.
