I duly received the Catalogues you kindly sent me. Plcu.se accept the enclosed, and I hope 
many of your patrons send you the same, to assist in defraying the heavy cxiiense of their 
production. If yon have discontinued issuing what 1 have always called ‘‘Caniiells 
Encyclopicdia,’’ 1 think yon are wise Sneh costly productions, although very useful, I feel 
assured never pay for the labour and immense expense they involve ; and my own experience 
is that there are hundreds of gardeners, and many of the general public, who write for them 
and arc glad to receive them, but who never send a single stamp (to say nothing of orders) to 
help toward.s the expense. Thanking you for your attention.
