I have had no Hippeastrum-------- in bloom so far or<br />
I would have sent you the pollen... ..Amaryllis do not<br />
do very well here... [he is using a pale blue ink<br />
making the writing even more illegible] "I wonder if<br />
you ever read my scribbling?"<br />
Oct. 11, 1922 "My Billbergia ------- specimens also bloomed<br />
beautifully but I have no other one in flower just<br />
now... Much about his ficus. Dracaenas are a sight,<br />
even those standing in water, and Ixoras just now<br />
make a fine show. My species of Pandanus... are doing<br />
expecially well.... ------ Collier, Gifford Pinchot<br />
and 8 other millionaires bought 175,000 acres including<br />
the "Big Cypress." Naples also will grow, from now on,<br />
in a most ----- way. A Mr. Jones, a rail-road<br />
magnate and a coal mine owner bought all the land.<br />
Great improvements are continuously made."<br />

water. "Shall send you ----- of seeds of Aechmea<br />
fulgens--beautiful red berries, now dried up."<br />

P. javonicus(?) variegatus, P. tectorius, P. ---------<br />
are all doing well, and Dracaenas are a glorious sight.<br />
