Brown Discovers Specimens -of Rare Plant—Leonard Geer Able to Supply Market With Lambs—Plans for the Holiday. W. H.

In 1898 and 99, a plant flourished near the Witter brook in Packerville and many flower lovers went to see it. It is an English flower. When it first came across the sea it secured & foothold in Virginia, and it is now found on the banks of the Hudson. In August of 1893, the late Miss Mary E. Soule sent specimens to E. F.
