JAY TO DR. JOHN BARD. 185
day from fall to spring. We have great plenty at
present; they preserve them I am told by hanging
them up single with bark strings in rooms; but this
will not probably succeed so well with you, where
there are few rooms without constant fire but what
are visited by frost. We have no opportunity of
trying here what effect hard frost would have
upon them. I nevertheless take this opportunity
of sending you some of the seed. Let Mr. Johnson have a share, and assure him of my respect
and esteem.
I thank you for mentioning my father's health. I
hear so seldom of or from him that the information
you gave me was particularly interesting. Mrs. jay,
(who has a little daughter) joins me in desiring our
compliments to Mrs. Bard and your good family.
I am, dear sir, with sincere regard,
Your most obedient servant,
John Jay.
P. S.—I don't remember to have seen yellow pinks
in America. I have sent for some of the seed ; if the
messenger returns with any it shall be enclosed. As
the seeds I send are from the King's garden, and well
paid for, I presume they will prove genuine.
I shall continue sending you such new things of
this kind as I may meet with. I am sure that if, on
experiment, they should agree with our climate, you
will be as much pleased to see them in the gardens
of others as in your own. You have my best wishes
that your happiness may always be proportionate to
