Dear Customer: é. he, 
Here is the largest group of imported plants I have ever offered. 
There are many unusual and fine things in this list and I recom- 
mend that you place your order early since some species are in ~~ 
limited supply. The plants will arrive here in late March and 
will be shipped to you promptly. If you wish me to send proper 
potting mixture, add 50¢ per plant. 
Cordially footie i ise.
