I brought some plants down to my camp and they grew and bloomed nicely.
In planting them I gave them a south exposure and after covering their roots with dirt, I placed rocks over the roots.
I imagine the rocks protect the roots from our very hot sun, and probably help retain the moisture.
I am watching to see if the seeds mature, and if the young plants are propagated by the root or seed. 
This year I shall plant some seed carefully.
I believe that high up in our canyons and mountains there are many new plants to be discovered.
I love nature, and am particularly interested in the flowers and trees and birds in and near my camp.
I live right against the Mazatzal Mts. in northern Gila Co., fifty miles north of the Roosevelt Dam. 
I am hoping to have Dr. and Mrs. Thornber visit us this spring, as I have a lot of interesting plants to show them.
I should like to know if the Cotyledons reach you in good condition.
Yours very truly
