Has forwarded what he believes to be a new species of Solanum.
Apologises for his error over the Solanum.
Thanks CD for his good wishes; JT believes he will increase yield and disease-resistance by his crossing and selection.
Forwards letter from Victor Kennedy reporting on the growth of JT’s potatoes in W. Ireland.
Forwards letter from George Callwell reporting what a large and disease-free potato crop JT’s seed yields.
Has examined this year’s crop, which looks good; will prepare a report.
