For next season we
propose exploring central
Arizona commencing in
April. Mrs. Lemmon has
a fine scheme on foot
— the painting of the entire
genus of Butterfly tulips —
[Caloclortus?]. There are
40 or 50 species of these
widely scattered but confined
to the Pacific slope region.

A portfolio of these beautiful
plants ought to be very
striking and of value.

With warm regards from
self and wife,

I remain
Truly yours,
J. G. Lemmon.
