HOW A COLLECTION BEGINS 
Dear Sir: 
Ihave had several small plants for some time, 
some of them slips and cuttings from larger plants 
given to me by friends and some bought from stores - 
here, but none compare with the truly magnificent 
specimens from your gardens. I was pleased with the 
size of them and marvel at their beauty. They were 
all in excellent condition when received.

ture and liking a trace of shade in summer. Give it
