/"\NCE again I send my annual greetings to my patrons, and wish to thank my many friends that 
have favored me with their support, and who have written me from every State and Territory, 
and almost every foreign country. It is pleasant to know that flowers grown from my seeds 
blossom in the Sunny South, and around the Gulf, in Cuba, Mexico and South America. In New- 
foundland, and all Canadian Provinces, British America, and even Alaska. From Lake to Gulf, from 
the Atlantic to the Pacific, dainty messengers of all that is beautiful and lovely have lived. Across 
the water comes word of the flowers grown in the Phillippines, Sandwich Islands, Japan, China, Tas- 
mania, India, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. From the other direction comes letters from 
England, Ireland, Scotland, Germany, France, Spain, Russia, and not overlooking Norway, Sweden 
and Denmark. It is also pleasant to know that flowers from my 6eeds have decorated the pulpits of 
churches in every direction, have gladdened the hearts of little ones in orphan asylums, of those in 
convents, and their presence in friends meeting, adding I trust some spiritual help to those gathered 
together in their plain and silent worship; of old veterans in the Soldiers’ Home, of many languishing 
in hospitals, have beautified the gardens of firemen and policemen, and also helped to beautify the 
grounds around stations of the large railroad systems, where travellers refresh their minds and eyes 
with a glimpse of nature at her best. There is nothing more pleasant in my business than the kind 
words of encouragement which come to me from the various places where my seeds have gone. I 
want to thank them, one and all, who write me telling me of their success and how these divine 
messengers have grown and made the world better and happier, carrying love and beauty wherever 
they went. Very sincerely yours, 
CARRIE H. LIPPINCOTT.
