ABOUT LETTERS 
I try to answer all letters promptly and fully, but 
sometimes my correspondence lags, for I am a busy 
t>erson. Although I have thoroughly efficient help, 
both in the seed-house and at the Nursery, yet a 
highly specialized business of this kind, must be in 
a surprisingly large number of its phases, a one-man 
show. Unfortunately no one of us may have a double 
allowance of time, no matter how much he may need 
it at certain seasons. Sometimes I stretch the day 
pretty well, but not always enough. If you have a 
letter due, it will come as soon as I can get to it. 
Can’t promise more. Always glad to answer letters, 
but please look through the catalog and the cultural 
direction folder first. Maybe you will find your 
answer there.

less. Actually, of course, they are treasured alike for their 
exquisitely silk-textured blossoms of lemon, buff, gold, 
orange or scarlet,—and for their decoratively feathered 
tangles of silver-frosted leafage. Sown early, will often 
bloom first year, but may be sown as late as September

fail with them. Pkt. 16c.
