34—PHOTOGRAPHS. 
Set (No. 2) of ten photographs illustrating fourteen 
plants described in this issue will be sent on receipt of one 
dollar. Two photographs (Clitocybe monadelpha,) to be 
described in next pamphlet will be included in the set in 
order to make an even ten. 
The large number who have subscribed to the previous set is exceedingly 
gratifying to me. While there are no pecuniary returns in the sale of these sets, 
(they being distributed at exact cost to me,) I am greatly pleased at the interest 
taken in them as evidenced by the orders and the many very pleasant words 
received regarding them, some of which we take the liberty to reproduce. There 
was only one unpleasant feature in connection with the distribution. The orders 
received so far exceeded our expectations that owing to the poor light for photo¬ 
graphic printing in our city during the winter months, our printers (Messrs. Rom- 
bach and Groene) have not been enabled to keep with the orders and much de¬ 
lay has been experienced in mailing the sets. At least one-third of the orders are as 
yet unfilled, but will be mailed in the order of receipt, as fast as w r e receive them 
from the printer. Most of those who received set No. 1, have expressed them¬ 
selves as much pleased with them. 
“The photographs of Lepiotas arrived in good condition. They are exceedingly fine and 
I am very glad to get them and thank you for giving me the oppoitnnity to get them. These 
photographs are much better than any plates l have ever seen. They exhibit the characters of 
the species.” Uk, E. A. DANIELS, boston, Mass. 
“I had no idea the plates could show so clearly the characters of the various species. I 
trust you will continue the series.” F. M. COMSTOCK, Cleveland, O. 
“Photographs received in splendid condition. They are very beautiful and interesting 
and I hope to enjoy them very much in the future.” E. HARKIS, Cambridge, Mass. 
Your photographs were shown to the members of the Philadelphia Mycolog cal Society at 
their last meeting. The opinion expressed was that they supplied a desirable aud effective 
means of study, next best to natural fungi in their l'resh condition.” 
CAROLINE A. BURGIN, Secretary, Philadelphia, Pa. 
“The photographs received. It is a pleasure to commend vour excellent work.” 
D. H. ALLEN, Brooklyn, N. Y. 
“ The photographs reached me in safety and I think they are the finest 1 have’ ever seen, 
which is saying much as I have taken pictures of all kinds for fifteen years or more. They are 
much better than any colored plates could be,” QUINCY POND, Auburndale, Mass. 
“I am much pleased with vour photographs. They are excellent.” 
E. W. D. HOLWAY, Decorah, Iowa. 
“I received yesterday the twelve photographs of fungi and I am much indebted to you for 
these, as they are by far the best illustrations on the subjects I have ever seen and I hope that 
I may have copies of all that you publish.” W M. KNOX, Cleveland, O. 
“The photographs of fungi have been received in good order, and I must confess I am de¬ 
lighted with them. Your claim that they are superior to colored plates is fully sustained, as I 
consider it impossible to show the characteristic features better than in the faithful copy’of the 
camera, which reproduces even the finest dejails.” HUGO BILGltAM, Philadelphia, Pa. 
“I am very much pleased with the photographs and consider them not. only fine pictures, 
but better lhan the usual colored plates.” MlsS M. C. WILLIAMS, Canandaigua, N. Y. 
“A our very excellent photographs have dulv come to hand. I find them very fine. I will 
want the whole series. It seems to me that by thus bringing your collection within reach of 
students, you will make a very valuable contribution to tire study of fungi.” 
W. C. BATES, Boston, Mass.
