I must take time out of a busy planting season to express our 
appreciation of the fine manner in which you shipped the 
Japanese Iris. They reached us just as fresh as though 
they had been dug the same day and it is difficult 
for us to conceive of any better shipping prepa- 
ration having been made. Thank you espe- 
cially for your surprise gift. We will be 
anxious to see Miodoroki in bloom.
