[The following letter from Mr. C. E. Van Goor, the celebrated Florist, 
of Harlem, was received too late for insertion in the Index; hence we send 
it out in this form.] 
Harlem, Holland, June 2Jf, 1878. 
Mr. L. B. Case , Richmond , Ind. 
Dear Sir:— Your letter just at hand. Would 
say that Hyacinths are not wed grown; just as they 
were last year—the pure white ones are generally 
bad. The reason therefor is that they have been in¬ 
jured by a bad dew, and storms have broken their 
leaves while they were growing. 
Tulips and Crocus as good% as usual. Narcissus 
very good. 
Anemones and Ranunculus promise well, but are 
not yet taken out of the ground. 
Hoping these few lines may be of some use to you, 
I remain, dear sir, 
Yours, truly, 
C. E. VAN GOOR.
