AR, gardener to the King of Prussia, has read Variation and wishes to send CD observations.
Sends notes on lack of variation in seedlings of trees and shrubs
and on climbers changing their character with age.
Sends notes on variation in plants.
Sends monstrous oranges,
red grape leaves,
and a bean with blue fruits (a hybrid of Phaseolus vulgaris and a Dolichos species).
Sends photograph of a diseased roebuck shot by Prince Frederick Charles of Prussia.
Thanks for facts on inheritance. May be used if CD corrects 3d ed. [2d ed.] of Variation.
Thanks AR for his offer to send his observation notes, but since CD will not pursue the subject of variation under domestication, and his German is poor, he urges him to publish them in some periodical.
Thanks AR for specimens and notes. Will keep them for future edition [of Variation]. Particularly struck by difference in hardiness of varieties of Syringa persica.
Thanks AR for specimens of fruit.
Thanks for letter and curious photographs. Urges AR not to send anything valuable unless he publishes it elsewhere because CD is growing old and may not have strength and time to continue his former researches.
