Sends you greetings and many thanks for your part in the past unexpectedly good year! We 
wish to remind you that our small establishment sends out a new catalog only biennially ; if you have 
destroyed or lost your copy we shall be glad to send you another. This year we offer you this little 
news letter of new things that we have acquired. 
In our cramped quarters growing space is a burning question. Partly for that reason and partly 
because there are many people who like rare things in small sizes we hustle our plants into the world 
as soon as possible, although we have only a few of some of the choicer things.
