Calls CD’s attention to an article about William Herbert’s hybrid Narcissus.
Thinks W. Kemp’s specimens are all common varieties of living species of Atriplex.
Regards [W. Kemp’s] plant as clearly only Atriplex patula, though with "an unusual habit".
Adds report on success of his Roman tomb exhibit.
Recommends a method for destroying wasps' nests. Refers him to the Gardener's Chronicle for information on flowering Cape bulbs. Has no idea where he can obtain deodar seeds. Would like to see his paper on the influence of light on vegetable colors.
