Eiret Prize was awarded.

The six packages came safe to hand by post all right. For ingenious simplicity and almost positive 
safety your system for conveying plants deserves all praise. The United States issues series of patents 
that for general utility are comparatively worthless— whereas you deserve much patronage.
