June - some a little early, others a little late. Here in this section, (probably in others also.) we have the [[underlined]] hottest [[/underlined]] & [[underlined]] driest [[/underlined]] season of the year [[insertion]] during May & June. [[/insertion]] The plants almost die down during the summer. I want to watch them this fall and see just when they are right for transplanting, so that you can be sure of having some bloom next spring. I will send the little cactus you mentioned soon. Would you like any small mescal plants? I am not sure of its technical name, but it is the plants from which the Indians make a drink "Tiswin" or "Tulapai". The drink is similar to the drink "Tequila" made by the Mexicans from the Maguey plants. The mescal is now in bloom & is striking in its orange brilliance. If at any time, I can serve you in any way, please let me know. Yours very truly, Rose E. Collom (Mrs. W. B. Collom.)
