JDH/1/9 f.754, The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew
Summary:

JDH informs Otto Stapf that he has received a Swedish Journal: ARKIV FÖR BOTANIK number 8 parts 1-5, 1909, issued by Kungl. Svenska Vetenskapsakademien [The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences]. JDH asks if he should send the work to the herbarium of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Annotations written in another hand, believed to be that of herbarium assistant Sydney Alfred Skan, indicates that RBG Kew already receives the journal for Stockholm & that it appears in the library catalogue under Stockholm. An additional annotation confirms that the journal is the continuation of an existing one under a different title as JDH suspected: K. VETENSKAPS ACADEMIA. JDH also asks if the RBG Kew library wants L'ACADEMIE INTERNATIONALE DE GEOG. BOT., to which Skan has indicated that they already subscribe.

JDH/1/9 f.755, The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew
Summary:

JDH writes to inform Otto Stapf that he has identified [Alfred Karl] Meebold's supposedly new balsam as an existing species to be found in the RBG Kew herbarium: Impatiens bicolor. He is returning the Balsams addressed to the Director [Sir David Prain]. JDH offers 2 brochures for the RBG Kew herbarium library, they are entitled BOTANISCHE WANDTAFELN & TURGOR DER MARKSTRAHLZELLEN. He does not understand the German terminology in the titles but has determined that they concern the fertilisation of orchids, Beech leaf tissue, a Plasmodium & the treatment of wood by salpeter. They were given to JDH by George King. An annotation signed by Stapf records that he has acknowledged receipt of Meebold's impatiens, accepted the brochures for the library & explained their German titles to JDH.
