•'Friend Tuttle:— I have neglected to reply to your notice of ship- 
ment ofjessie plants, until I should be able to set them out aiul see 
how they turned out. There happened to be no water in the ditch 
when they arrived, and as they seemed in good condition. I thought 
they would do better in the package until I could get water than they 
would do set in the dry earth with what sprinkling I could give them. 
You will observe that we wait for water in this country instead of rain 
and it being very low and scarce at this time of the year, we have to 
take turns and wait until we can got it. I set them out yesterday 
morning, and ns I got the ground moistened around them I think they 
will do well. jThey were shipped in open basket, Sept. 18, therefore 
ten days in the package. A. C. T. 1
