Following letter received from Mr. Vander Vaer:—"Please 
send me at once your large collection of plants, also your book, 
"Tropical Aquariums and Water Gardens.” 
Also please find enclosed a picture of my pool for which you 
furnished me lilies, fish, and plants, and I do not hesitate to say 
that they were the finest blooms around here. We had lilies from 
early July till November. Some had 9 and 10" blossoms. 
Yours truly,
