But that matter of space limitation is inexorable, and I have to pass on, regretful that I cannot do as I so gladly would.

Some day, when old age overtakes me, and I can no longer travel, I hope to write a complete history of horticulture in America, giving every man who has contributed toward the progress made full credit for his work.
