M. College of Texas.

During his college courses Mr. Kyle was
wise enough to lay a broad foundation.
Mr. Kyle is a young man of fine appear
ance, of strong physique, of agreeable
manners, of great energy and tact. He
was selected for his special fitness and upon
the indorsements of the greatest authorities
on horticulture. Prof. L. H. Bailey, both
in private conversation and in written com
munication, vigorously asserted to the
president of the college that he knew of no
available horticulturist in this country who
was better fitted to take up the work at the
college than Mr. Kyle. He added that he
would be very much disappointed if he did
not justify the highest expectations of his
friends, his teachers and the governing
authorities.
