Dear Sir, 
Since plant propagation is only a slightly over- 
grown hobby with me, I am flattered by your request of January 
5, 1949 for catalog. The enclosed mimeographed list is the 
best I can do in this direction at present. 
I do hope to offer a wider selection of plants 
adapted or adaptable to this particular area and shall be glad 
to forward listings. 
Thank ie 
Wik, ee
