FROM PUBLIC GARDENS, KYNETON (Near Melbourne). AUSTRALIA 
“I am pleased with your strain of Aquilegias, now in full bloom. Unique 
colors among them. Mr. D-sent me seeds of several English strains at 
about the same time, so I am comparing them. So far yours are much the- 
best. Your Heucheras are also blooming and are fine." 
(Later) "Re Aquilegias: I gave a lecture on these flowers at the last 
meeting of the Horticultural Society and you may like to know that 
I took a large bunch of Hoodacres Strain, which proved a revelation to 
the Society for the beautiful new colors."

finest I have ever seen, hence the order for additional ones." 
ACROSS THE WATER WITH HOODACRES 
Princeton, N. J.: "You will be glad to know that the seeds sent to Dr. Rideal in 
Cambridge, England, about a year ago have given much pleasure there. Only 
last week Mrs. Rideal wrote that the white delphiniums were in grand shape." 
ARE THEY GRAND? 
Paulding, Ohio: "I have 190 of your plants, three years old and. Oh, Boy! are 
they grand? Have them in my back yard; they were all about seven feet tall." 
SAW NOTHING IN ENGLAND TO COMPARE 
Coeur d'Alene, Idaho: "Was in England last year and saw nothing to 
compare with your Delphiniums." 
THE WHITES CATCH VISITORS' FANCY 
Arkona, Ontario: "Your delphiniums were particularly fine this year. If every¬ 
body that took your name wrote for seeds you should hove many orders. The 
Whites seem to catch the visitors' fancy. Your Columbines are also fine; have 
had many interested visitors while they were in bloom."
