Gentlemen: 
_ Weare very pleased to inform you that 
at last the parcel with Syringa and Chaenomeles 
has reached us — after 21/4 months! Thanks to 
the very efficient packing, but, we must frankly 
admit, to our surprise, the plants unpacked in 
very good condition and do not seem to have 
suffered to any extent from the long journey. 
As we wrote you in our last letter, we had 
given up all hope about their condition and 
even if they would ever arrive at all 
a : Very truly yours, 
B. Ruys, LTD.
