Discusses case of Cytisus graft described by JJW.
Is very interested in JJW’s report on a purple laburnum grafted onto yellow stock which then produces yellow flowers. CD requests racemes to examine.
Regarding Cytisus graft with yellow flowers, CD thinks nurseryman has sold Cytisus adami to JJW’s brother in place of C. purpureus. This explains apparent "sport". [P.S. on envelope:] C. purpureus seeds freely. C. adami never does.
JJW is to think no more about mistake [regarding Cytisus graft].
E. Ray Lankester blackballed by Linnean Society. Another election planned. Would JJW use his influence in Lankester’s favour?
August Weismann is interested in JJW’s experiments on birds and the caterpillars they eat.
Yellow flowers occurring on a purple Cytisus grafted onto a yellow stock.
Yellow and purple flowers occur on plant grafted with Cytisus purpureus, but only on separate racemes. Only yellow blooms seed.
Sends CD some of the Cytisus, which has produced yellow flowers on a purple graft.
