Thanks for informative letter of 2 February. CD is glad to have CVN’s opinion on the crossing of varieties of melons,
has made use of his memoir on the Cucurbitaceae ["Cucurbitacées cultivées au Muséum d’Histoire Naturelle en 1862", Ann. Sci. Nat. (Bot.) 18 (1863): 159–208]
and anticipates with great interest his work on hybridisation.
Congratulates CD on the Copley Medal.
Directs CD to his short memoir on crossing ["De l’hybridité", C. R. Hebd. Acad. Sci. 59 (1864): 837–45].
Thanks CVN for reference to the Comptes Rendus [Académie Française].
Mentions CVN’s work on Cucurbitaceae and notes that he (CD) has quoted extensively from it in Variation.
Hopes to send paper on Lythrum [Collected papers 2: 106–31] soon.
Mentions exchange of photographs.
Thanks CD for his paper "Climbing plants" [see 4861] and for a photograph.
Hopes soon to send a copy of his memoir on hybridisation
and with it will forward a short note on the tendrils of the Cucurbitaceae.
Thanks for Variation.
