Smithfield, O.F.S., 24/2/34.—I also wish to thank you for your prompt delivery 
of transplants in the past which have so far always arrived here in excellent order, 
and have yielded good results in spite of the difference in our climate. 
Zuider Paarl, 7/3/34. —The Gladioli you supplied me with during January are 
doing very well and I am looking forward to a real fine crop of blooms. 
Natal, 13/2/34. —I hope you have similar seed (Akaroa Cocksfoot) to what you 
supplied me with last year, as I must say it did splendidly, far better than seed that 
I have tried in previous years from elsewhere.
