It is distributed from Mendoeino Co. to the Valley of the San Luis Rey River, & is the largest species sometimes attaining a height of 35 feet - a truly glorious plant. Now I must go to work again on that hug red Canon. Come & see us all of you as soon as you can. I am sending the photos to Larksp[illegible]r which I promised Mrs M. & Elmer.
