Enquires about fairy rings.
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.
Thanks MTM for his excellent review [of Insectivorous plants]
and for his trouble about the gooseberry.
